Personal profile

Research and Innovation interests

Building on my doctoral thesis, I am currently investigating the role of creative teaching in drama education. In relation to this, I am also researching the formation of drama teacher identity. The aims of my research include:

 

  • To explore the co-constructive planning process of using personal resources, oral history, family stories, and intersectionality to create meaningful and engaging drama learning in a school context.
  • To explore the continuing role of developing the drama pedagogy of Early Career Teachers (ECTs) beyond formal education and training
  • To explore the impact of the secondary education system on drama as a subject; drama as a pedagogical approach to teaching and learning; and drama as a collaborative process of meaning-making between researcher, teacher and pupils
