    §Childhood and Family Studies

I began work as a Senior Lecturer of Childhood and Family Studies in January 2014.  I was course leader for the BA(Hons) Early Childhood Studies course from 2015 to 2020.  Since 2020 I have been Foundation Year co-ordinator for the department.  I module lead on the modules The Developing Child in the World, Preparing for Undergraduate Study, Child Development, and Childhood and Youth in a Global Context.  I am a member of the Childhood, Youth and Families research cluster.  Before working at Wolverhampton University I qualified as a Secondary School teacher and worked for a number of years teaching A-Levels Psychology and Sociology.
