Research summary

This PhD research project began as a part-time scholarship activity, which was reviewed for progression in October 2023 by critical friends. They identified that it is “original [in] its attempt to provide a counter-narrative to the current context in teacher education which is dominated by policy-driven, accountability frameworks.” From April 2024, the project became a full-time, self-funded PhD.
