Kathryn Spicksley, Dr

Research Fellow at Oxford Brookes University

Dr Kathryn Spicksley is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at Oxford Brookes University. Her research interests centre on the impact of political and cultural discourse on the lives and worlds of teachers, especially Early Career Teachers. Her current research project will use innovative methods borrowed from corpus linguistics to develop a gamified intervention to facilitate dialogic mentoring between Early Career Teachers and school mentors.

Kathryn's PhD, titled New Faces and Changing Places: Discourse, identity and early-career primary teachers in post-2010 Multi-Academy Trusts, explored the relationship between post-2010 education policy and Early Career Teacher professional identity. It won the BERA Doctoral Thesis Prize in 2022.
