Gemma Moss is Professor of Literacy at UCL Institute of Education. She is Director of the ESRC Education Research Programme (2021–26). The programme is exploring new ways of working in partnership across the boundaries between education research, policy and practice, and involves nine research projects researching two policy-relevant themes: the role of teachers, their recruitment, retention and professional development; and the uses of technology for teaching and learning.
Gemma was president of BERA between 2015 and 2017 and has served on BERA Council. With Lesley Saunders she started BERA’s Educational Research and Educational Policy-Making special interest group.
Her research interests include gender and literacy, literacy policy and how the shifting relationships between policymakers, practitioners and stakeholders are reshaping the knowledge landscape in education. She advocates for the use of research evidence and knowledge exchange to support policy and practice in the interests of the public good.
