Research
My background is in professional education, particularly in partnership and collaborative working. My research interests centre on Leadership Preparation and Development (LPD), where I have worked with leaders across a wide range of areas. I am interested in English education policy reform, the establishment of Multi-Academy Trusts and the decline of Local Authorities; comparative education (globally), particularly in school leadership; and gender and equal working practices.
I am currently involved in some international research projects with colleagues in ISLDN in Australia, Sweden, Brazil and South Africa, in particular.
