My education trajectory has been somewhat atypical. After a decade of working a broad range of manual labour jobs, I became a mature student, completing two Bachelors degrees in my late 20s. Both degrees were at the University of Georgia (USA). After immigrating to the UK, I worked at children's charities for several years before (in my late 30s) completing an MSc in Social Policy and Planning at the London School of Economics (LSE). I graduated with Distinction, receiving (much to my surprise) a Richard Titmuss Prize for academic excellence -- an event which encouraged me to pursue a career in academia. After nearly a decade of working as a Research Officer, Senior Research Officer and then Lecturer at IOE, I received a PhD (from IOE) in my late 40s.
- the intergenerational impacts of educational inequality, and the analysis of programmes and policies aimed at addressing those impacts
- learning across the life course, with particular emphasis on adult education.
I am currently a Lecturer in Education, teaching on BA and MA programmes and supervising students at BA, MA and PhD levels. I am a member of the BA Education Studies Senior Leadership Team, and serve as that programme's International Student and Study Abroad Coordinator. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Association.
