Research interests
In my research work I use theories from psychology, particularly cultural-historical approaches (Vygotsky, Bruner) to investigate questions about learning and the contexts of learning, for example: How can we understand/assess how and whether out-of-school learning impacts on education as delivered at school? What lies behind problematic school attendance patterns for young people from low SES backgrounds? What is the relationship between technology use and the wellbeing of secondary school students - how might we begin thinking about 'balance' and how to achieve it?
