- Â鶹ÊÓƵ interests
-
As Professor Emeritus I continue to be involved in research, writing, out-reach, and consultancy. My academic career began in 1978 and since then my interests have been around: qualitative, and especially narrative and auto/biographical approaches, to research and its re-presentation; research ethics; and social justice issues. In September 2018 I was awarded the John Nisbet Fellowship by the British Educational Â鶹ÊÓƵ Association for an outstanding contribution to educational research over a career and as far as I can I hope to continue to live up to this honour.
In 2022, in ‘retirement’, as well as being grandma to 4 amazing little people who are teaching me so much about life and living, I am involved in the following activities:
- a study in collaboration with Professor Caroline Gelman at Hunter College, City University of New York, and Dr Mel Hall from MMU, looking at how people at risk of inherited dementias make decisions about whether to have genetic testing
- working with the Further and Higher Education Authority in Malta, in the field of research ethics and accreditation of higher education institutions
- acting in a consultant capacity for the UK Â鶹ÊÓƵ Integrity Office ()
- active membership of the workstream, working with academics and people living with dementia to best target and disseminate research
- active membership of the Alzheimer’s Society Â鶹ÊÓƵ Network and the Three Nations Dementia Working Group
- I am on the editorial boards of the British Educational Â鶹ÊÓƵ Journal, the International Journal of Â鶹ÊÓƵ and Method in Education, Qualitative Â鶹ÊÓƵ, and the Qualitative Â鶹ÊÓƵ Journal
