Person
I am a Professor in the School of Education at Manchester Metropolitan University. I also have several years experience as a primary school teacher. I am passionate about education research with a particular interest in conducting interdisciplinary work investigating the cognitive and affective dimensions of education.
My current interests include teacher resilience, language development, and epistemic emotions (emotions that are related to knowledge/the process of knowing). My research draws upon the disciplines of education, psychology, and philosophy, developing and mobilising insights across these fields to address contemporary challenges faced by schools. I am currently Co-chair of the Education Policy and Practice Research Group at Manchester Met.
