Biography

I joined the department as an Associate Lecturer in Education (T&S) in 2018. From 2017-18 I worked at Liverpool Hope University as a Lecturer in Education, teaching on programmes in both Education Studies and Early Childhood. Prior to that, I was a research associate at Lancaster University, working on projects related to access to HE and research ethics, whilst also lecturing in the sociology of education at York St John University. 
I completed my PhD in the Department of Education at the University of York in 2016, focusing on young people’s development of a reading habitus (their ways of reading/ being a reader and whether or not they view reading as being for ‘someone like me’). The research sought to contribute to socio-cultural conceptions of reading and what it means to be a ‘reader’ and explored the social justice implications of this. I also completed a BA in Language and Literature in Education in the same department.
