Lisa is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Huddersfield in the Centre for Research in Post-Compulsory Education. She gained a PhD ‘Pupil Resistance to Their Schooling Experience’ and a First Class Combined Honours Degree in Social Studies and Psychology at Aston University before engaging in her post as a Research Fellow at The University of Nottingham within the School of Education. She has published in the areas of ethnography, excluded young people, mentoring, E2E (Entry to Employment) and journal publication. Her research interests range from issues around social justice, pupil voice and young peoples' experiences of inclusion and exclusion.
Currently she is Principal Investigator, working on a case study approach investigating young people’s experiences of working in the private sector funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. She is also managing a longitudinal study concerning the experiences of NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) young people funded by The Leverhulme Trust. She has been involved in a University funded project that explored work-related learning for young people on E2E programs, a Joseph Rowntree Foundation project that mapped alternative education provision across two Midland Local Authority's and an ESRC project aimed at exploring themes of social and educational inclusion through the creative arts with primary age school children.
