I am a sociologist of education, with a PhD from the University of Sussex. My research delves into how the identities of students, researchers, academics, teachers, and other educational actors are shaped by class, gender, race, knowledge, and other dimensions of inequality and power. I have a particular interest in higher education inequalities, education policies, and in the changing identities and subjectivities in education. 


Research Interests:

  • Higher education inequalities
  • Widening participation and affirmative action policies in higher education
  • Gender, class, ethinic and racial inequalities in education
  • The influence of neuroscience and psychology in education
  • Social theory  


Qualifications:

  • PhD. University of Sussex, UK
  • Master of Arts in Sociological Research. University of Essex, UK
