Role in the project "Learning Lives"
Co-director of the overall project, with particular responsibility for
managing the Leeds-based research. This part of the project focuses
particularly on the roles of adult education and guidance in relation to
people's learning lives.
Background & Expertise
After a 20 year career as a schoolteacher, I have been a university
teacher and researcher since 1989. I have researched extensively on
vocational education and training, learning in Further Education and
workplaces, and on career development and decision making for young
people. I have a particular interest in the integration of more individual
accounts of learning and career transition, with broader social perspectives.
This particularly concerns balancing wider influences of factors such as
social class, gender, ethnicity and age with the actions taken by people
themselves. Key publications include: with Helen Colley and Janice Malcolm;
Informality and Formality in Learning (London: Learning and Skills Research
Centre); Triumphs and Tears: Young People, Markets and the Transition from
School to Work (London: David Fulton) with Heather Hodkinson and Andrew
Sparkes; and Working to Learn: transforming learning in the workplace.
(London: Kogan Page), co-edited with Karen Evans and Lorna Unwin.
