Biographical
Note
I studied
English, Sociology and Social Policy at undergraduate
level, before working in housing and studying at the
Glasgow Centre for Housing Research for 2 years.
I then worked as a teacher in a senior secondary
school in Botswana before returning to undertake
a PGCE. I subsequently worked in a multi-agency team
with teenagers at risk of exclusion from home, school
or community. Later, I worked as a Principal Teacher
of Guidance in a mainstream secondary school. My
PhD focused on exploring the experience of disciplinary
exclusion from the viewpoint of those excluded and
the generality of pupils. I teach on both post-graduate
and under-graduate courses and this work focuses
on issues of social justice in education and the
links between policy and practice.
