Research interests
My research interests revolve around the experiences of young people in education and their transitions from education to employment. My work covers processes of social reproduction, inequality, mobility, exclusion and inclusion and social justice. From a sociological perspective, my research has focused on patterns of educational participation and forms of engagement, educational and occupational aspirations, higher education, informal education and training.
Research collaborations
My research has involved regular collaboration with colleagues in Europe, Australia and Japan. I have held visiting positions at Deakin, Melbourne and Monash in Australia, and held an Invitation Fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. I am an advisor to the Japanese Youth Cohort Survey team.
