Dr Daniel Leyton
Lecturer in Education
Baring Court BC216
Baring Court, University of Exeter St Luke's Campus, Heavitree Road, Exeter, EX1 2LU, UK
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 investigating gender inequalities in STEM disciplines in higher education in the UK, India, and Rwanda, as part of the Gendered Journeys’ ESRC-funded project. 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, widening participation policies, and educational and academic professions.
