Dr Yulia Nesterova

  • Lecturer (Educational Leadership & Policy)

Biography

I am a Lecturer in International and Comparative Education.

My other current roles include:

I am interested in how societies transition from conflict, violence and authoritarianism to justice, peace and democracy. My research interests thus centre around (1) historical, epistemic and relational (in)justices, especially in and through education, (2) education for peace, justice, and reconciliation, (3) intergroup relationships; and (4) youth and community and inter-generational engagement to establish lasting and just peace. 

I am currently working on several projects:

1. Developing indicators for Youth, Peace, and Security agenda (PI, funder: Carnegie Trust)

2. Intergenerational engagement for Youth, Peace, and Security (Co-I, funder: FBA)

3. Youth and peace education in Belarus and Russia (PI, funder: BAICE)

4. Building capacities of international actors for youth inclusive peace processes (Co-I, ESRC IAA)

My first monograph, titled "Pathways towards justice, reconciliation, and sustainability within Indigenous education: A framework of justice for marginalised populations," is under contract with Routledge.

I have a wide-ranging and varied professional experience in research, policy development, curriculum design, and programme and project management with education institutions, governments, multi-laterals, and foundations/NGOs across the world. Prior to joining the University of Glasgow in January 2020, I worked as a consultant, leading a project on peace and sustainability in Asia-Pacific for UNESCO Bangkok, in partnership with the Governments of Japan and Thailand, and a consultant co-leading a project on prevention of violent extremism for UNESCO MGIEP, in partnership with the Australian Government. My other key research projects and publications have focused on the rights, education, and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples, ethnic and religious minorities, women in complex and sensitive contexts, and other vulnerable populations.

I have conducted extensive fieldwork in Taiwan, Ethiopia, Hong Kong S.A.R., Scotland, Russia, and Brazil and have worked with research partners in Africa (Benin, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Africa), Asia (Bangladesh, mainland China, India, the Philippines), and the Pacific (Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand). As part of my role at UNESCO Asia-Pacific, I worked with UNESCO’s Member States in Asia and the Pacific.

In 2023, I was Conference Chair of the 2023 conference of the UK Education and Development Forum (UKFIET) on the topic of "Education for Social and Environmental Justice: Diversity, Sustainability, Responsibility." From 2021 to 2023, I was an Academic Lead of the Low and Middle Income Countries Research Network and from 2023 to 2024, I was part of the leadership team for Justice, Insecurity & Fair Decision Making in the College of Social Sciences.
