Role in the project "Learning Lives"
Co-director of the Learning Lives project with responsibility for overseeing
research based in Brighton focussing on migrants and asylum seekers.
Background & Expertise
My research has moved from detailed focus on socio-historical approaches to
curriculum study into more broad based studies of people's life history.
In more recent research I focus on life history methods to understand
critical learning incidents in peoples lives and their overall life stories
and life missions.
I have recently joined the Centre for Educational Research at St Edmunds
College, University of Cambridge; I am also Professor of Learning Theory
at the University of Brighton and Stint Foundation visiting professor at
the University of Uppsala.
I am the Founding Editor of The Journal of Education Policy and European
Editor of the journal IDENTITY.
Currently I am undertaking a six-month residence at the University of
Barcelona as a guest of the Catalan Research Council.
