Personal profile
Research interests
I am interested in the role of non-formal and informal education in young people's lives. Non-formal education refers to structured learning opportunities outside of school or university, whilst informal education encompasses unplanned, spontaneous learning opportunities outside school or university. My experience researching young people's lives focuses primarily on charities, youth groups, youth sport, and young people not in education, employment or training. As a qualitative researcher who comes from an interdisciplinary background, my research draws on educational theory, psychology, sociology, and critical pedagogy.
Research interests:
- Non-formal and informal education
- Young people's development
- Educational disadvantage
- Neoliberalism and governmentality
- Critical pedagogy
