PhD projects
I am interested in supervision of doctoral students within the broad area of early childhood education, child rights and voice and have particular interests in documentation practices, observation, creativity and methodological innovation.
Research activity per year
I am a qualified teacher with a specialism of working with young children aged 3 to 7 years. I have held roles as a Deputy Headteacher, Early Years Advisory Teacher, Maintained Nursery School Senior Teacher and pedagogue to Children's Centres. Currently I work for Edge Hill University as a senior lecturer where I teach across undergraduate and postgraduate early years programmes
My current research focuses on early childhood education documentation practices through posthuman, feminist materialism and post qualitative theories. I have wider research interests in affective theories, rights and agency narratives along with resistance practices to dominant discourses.
