About Me
Doctoral researcher and school teacher
I am a Leverhulme Doctoral Scholar in the department of Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science, co-supervised by Professor Mike Savage and Professor Rita Astuti. I also have eleven years of experience teaching Geography in secondary schools in London and continue to do so alongside studying.
My PhD research seeks to investigate how the (re)production of privilege occurs within an elite independent school setting in London through a specific focus on the concept of confidence. The study explores how confidence is inculcated as well as the ways in which it is articulated and embodied by students.
