My research centres around ethnography and social research. Currently, I am leading a systematic review of the literature surrounding educational provision for refugee and asylum seeking families, contributing to the work of the Institute of Social Justice. I am also part of the International Teacher Education Research Collective (@_ITERC)- a research collaboration of international universities focused on issues surrounding teacher education. Other current projects include an ethnographic study using actor-network theory and concepts from literacy studies to investigate how education reform influences teachers' professional practices. My own teaching career has spanned state, UK independent and international sectors, including school leadership and working as a Local Authority Education Development Advisor. At YSJ, I teach on a wide range of ITE modules, including The Research Informed Professional, professional electives, core and wider curriculum modules.
