Sue has worked at the IOE since 2001. As EdD Programme Leader in the Centre for Doctoral Education, Sue has facilitated a number of changes to the EdD and was involved in restructuring the programme to enhance both student experience and progression.

She has been instrumental in removing barriers to postgraduate research as part of the widening participation agenda. Sue designed and developed a pre-doctoral training programme that paved the way for mature professionals to access the EdD.

Her research focuses on adult professional learning and andragogical approaches to learning, including research into the education and training of professionals. Sue is also interested in the development of spiral curricula to develop generative learning.
