Personal Statement
I am a Chancellor’s Fellow at the Strathclyde Institute of Education. My research interests include inclusive education, children and young people's participation, sustainable development, and technology. I have led research projects funded by the ESRC, the NERC and the British Council. I was a co-editor for the award-winning book ‘Artificial Intelligence and Inclusive Education: Speculative Futures and Emerging Practices’. I was also a core member of the writing group which produced the 3rd edition of Scotland's 'National Framework for Inclusion'.
I am the module leader of ‘Inclusive Pedagogy’ (PGCert Inclusive Education), and a co-lead of the interdisciplinary Strathclyde Centre for Doctoral Training ‘Human-centred AI Technologies for Inclusion in Education and Society’. Below is a list of my current doctoral students:
Xunrou Shen. Rethinking parental engagement under the Covid-19 crisis through a Froebelian lens: bringing young children’s voices to the front.
Jingyi Yang. Understanding anti-racist pedagogy in British classrooms.
Noor Ul Ain. Artificial Intelligence in inclusive education: teachers’ perspectives.
