Lottie will present her doctoral research on how the ‘problem’ of forced marriage is discursively constructed in school communities and the strengths and pitfalls of current education sector strategies to prevent forced marriage.
She will reflect on methodological challenges and emerging findings from research in three London secondary schools.
This in-person event will be particularly useful to researchers, policymakers and educators interested in gender, education, intersectional inequalities and research in schools.
