Lecturer in Education
Qualifications
My first degree was a BSc (Hons) in Community Work and my Master's degree was MSc Social Research. I am particularly interested in issues of equality and social justice. My doctoral thesis, 'The Impact of Arts Education Programmes on Anti-Racist School Practice in the South West of England', drew together two core interests of anti-racist work and the role of the arts for social transformation. As an artist, I am interested in ways the arts can act as a language for engaging in critical thinking about troublesome issues.
Teaching interests

Research interests
