Research Interest
I am presently in my second year of studying for a doctorate in education. My research explores the connection between first place and reading from a critical literacy perspective. It makes links with other subject disciplines such as the field of social and cultural geography and draws on the conceptualisations of place framed by Doreen Massey. Prior to this and during 2011-13 a colleague and I designed a 2 year research project at Bath Spa University into how 'first place' influenced PGCE trainee teachers' identities as readers and teachers of reading. We presented our findings at the recent 2014 UKLA International Conference.
