Ceri Holman is a qualified librarian who has worked primarily in secondary education supporting students’ love of reading, literacy and research skills development. A fondness for environmental literature converges in her work at the annual Kendal Mountain Book Festival. Her Environment MA thesis (Lancaster University, 2020) focused on schools' capabilities of embedding the Morecambe Bay Curriculum, where she is a member of the secondary schools' group. Ceri’s recent roles reflect her keenness to increase young people’s agency, including co-ordinating a children’s climate summit and greener schools’ programme for a regional sustainability charity, an EU YouCount project researcher on youth citizen science, a trustee of youth-led environmental charity Another Way, and current PhD candidate at the University of York. Supervised by Dr Lynda Dunlop and Professor Neil Carter, Ceri is researching learning for democracy through place-based education.
