- Summary:
- I have recently joined the ESRC LLAKES Centre from the European Commission Centre for Research on Lifelong Learning (CRELL). I am leading a project on experiencing inequalities across 5 countries. Whilst at the European Commission I was responsible for leading projects on the development of indicators on Active Citizenship (watch interview here). I am an expert in building bridges between research and policy and continue to perform consultancy for the European Commission and the Council of Europe. I am part of the Project Advisory Committee of the IEA International Citizenship and Civic Education study (ICCS) 2009.
- Research:
- I am leading the project entitled 'Experiencing inequalities' which is part of the ESRC funded LLAKES Centre (Learning and Life Chances in Knowledge Economies and Societies). This project aims to identify the relationship between perceived inequalities and the values and behaviour, such as active citizenship, that effect socially cohesive societies. The project is collecting and analysing both quantitative and qualitative data in five countries (France, Germany, England, Denmark, and Singapore) in three different educational settings (lower school, Further Education and Higher Education).
