Overview
I am a sociologist of education, with a PhD from the University of Sussex. Before joining the School of Education, I was Research Associate in Gender and Higher Education at the University of Glasgow where I was as part of the Gendered Journeys’ ESRC-funded project led by Professor Barbara Read. My research focuses on understanding how class, gender, racism, knowledge, and other axes of inequalities and power are rendered in discourses of the self and the global in education. Within this aim, my main areas of investigation are internationalisation of higher education, academics' and students' identities within neoliberal politics of knowledge, widening participation policies, and educational and academic professions.
