Convenor
Carrie Birch, Dr
Independent Researcher at N/A
As an independent researcher/practitioner Carrie’s work in community and school settings with adults, under-fives, families, and organisations supports her interests in social justice, and researching perspectives of those whose voices are rarely heard by mainstream. Since 2021 Carrie has also been working with BERA Academic Writing Retreats.
Carrie’s PhD research explored learning cultures in a socially 'excluded' community. Her research drew on life histories of participants whose perspectives on learning and education are little understood in mainstream. This research makes possible an understanding of ‘excluded’ communities from within. Using life history Carrie found how adults in excluded communities are influenced by the different cultures of community and mainstream, allowing a deeper understanding of their educational identities, and reasons why so many adults who left school without qualifications seem reluctant to return to formal learning.
