    Personal profile

    Biography

    My research adopts critical, feminist approaches to exploring children and young people's voices, agency and rights in relation to education and social justice, SEND, inclusion, equality and diversity, and identities. I adopt collaborative and participatory methods, multi-modal methodologies and pedagogies.

    I currently work on the following Project:

    IKEF funded 'Research in Special Education' (RiSE) / ‘Visualising Opportunities: Inclusion for Children, Education and Society’ (VOICES_Ed) project that explores perceptions of inclusion in a range of education settings and included hosting an exhibition at Liverpool Tate in June 2018 and working with schools, community partners and local authorities across the UK (2019-2023). 

    In the past I have worked on the following:

    AHRC funded 'Rooted in Nature' project with colleagues from Newcastleand Durham University. The aims of this project are to identify the health and social outcomes of involvement in a range of urban nature-based activities for young people across different sites in Middlesbrough & Stockton and to develop a co-produced embedded researcher methodology to explore the impact of participation in urban nature-based activities for young people using an intersectional lens.

    Maynooth University funded ‘evaluating student central provision’ project to consider the range of support offered to HE students with learning needs which has been successfully completed. I also worked on the Erasmus funded CATALYST project (85,000 Euros for EHU) which involved working with 11 other universities from Germany, Ireland, Laos, Romania and VietNam. Between 2015 and 2019.

    I have a particular passion for research mentoring, whether that be research students or Early Career colleagues and have lead edited a book on mentoring in Higher Education.

    I teach at undergraduate and postgraduate level on a range of educational subjects with a particular focus upon sociology of education, educational difference, inclusive pedagogies, social justice, and multimodal research methodologies.  For seven years (2015-2022) I was the post-graduate co-ordinator for the Faculty of education, overseeing the support for Research Students, including providing development for supervisors and I supervise my own PhD students.  

    I am a Senior Teaching Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

    I have been awarded ‘recognised research supervisor’ status by the UK Council for Graduate Education.
