Research Interests
Lucy Yeatman's pedagogical research focuses on developing peer support and learning conversations to build confidence in students. She is interested in critical and feminist pedagogies of hope and compassion.
Lucy is involved in a research project exploring the value of peer learning in law programmes with Dr Louise Hewitt from University of Greenwich. Using student-led focus groups they are looking at factors that contribute to positive experiences of group work in law clinics.
Connected to Lucy's research interest in the benefits of peer learning, she is exploring the design and delivery of alternative and authentic assessment. She is researching how law clinics design assessments and navigate the procedural requirements of fairness in a teaching environment where students are delivering legal services to the general public.
As a trustee of Clinical Legal Education Organisation, Lucy is committed to supporting clinical legal educators who want to develop research skills in relation to legal education.
