Profile
- BA in English in Education at The University of York from 2014 – 2017
- MA in Social Justice and Education at The University of York from 2017 – 2018
- PhD Education at The University of York from 2019 - present
When I first came to York I had no idea that I would end up staying for so long! My original goal of becoming an English teacher changed when I discovered all the policies surrounding English education that I did not agree with or believe to be the best they could be. Now, more than 5 years after starting my journey at York I hope to one day influence educational policy with my research and to put key ideas relating to social justice at the forefront of teaching English Literature.
Prizes
