About the Speakers
Alice Bradbury
Associate Professor of Sociology of Education and Co-Director of the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Pedagogy (0-11 years) (HHCP) at the UCL Institute of Education
Alice's research interests are in the relationship between education policy and inequalities in terms of class, gender and 'race'. Her research examines the impact of policy in primary and early years education with a focus on issues of social justice.
Recent research projects have focused on the role of the priorities of primary schools during Covid (funded by ESRC) and the retention of BME teachers in schools in areas of disadvantage (funded by the British Academy).
Alice's latest book, 'Ability, Inequality and Post-Pandemic Schools: Rethinking Contemporary Myths of Meritocracy' will be published in June 2021.
