Research interests
Lyndsay Grant has worked as a researcher in education and digital technologies since 2005 in both higher education and the third sector, taking a critical, cultural studies approach to understanding socio-technical change in education through empirical research and theoretical engagement. Her PhD research provides a detailed, ethnographic and sociomaterial exploration of how quantitative data practices worked to reconfigure the possible ways of thinking about and doing ‘education’ in an English secondary school.
