About
I am a PhD student/post-grad researcher in the field of Education. Primarily interested in Young Adult Literature and its possible applications in the classroom, I am looking at YA lit’s potential effects on attitudes to diversity, as well as boosting reading for pleasure.
I’m an English teacher, with most of my experience in post-16, particularly teaching A Level English Language, so methods of analysis based in linguistics also interest me.
As well as teaching, I also write educational books, mostly for classroom use for the English national curriculum (KS3, GCSE and A Level). Education
