Jo McIntyre is Associate Professor, in the School of Education, University of Nottingham.

Jo has worked on a range of funded research projects in the fields of teacher education and refugee education and is particularly interested in how, through the field of Education, we can understand and improve the lives of those who are marginalized or disadvantaged by society. Jo chairs the Russell Group’s Initial Teacher Education national network. She sits on the DfE’s Initial Teacher Training Advisory Group and is a member of UCET’s Executive Committee.

Jo has been involved in a range of research projects in the field of teacher education, in the areas of beginning teacher professional identity, mentoring, and teacher education policy and practice. Jo’s work in the field of refugee education includes a sustained collaboration with Lund University. She has worked on research projects which look at the barriers and opportunities schools face when working to support refugee children in Europe. This has included work with teacher educators in different international contexts to consider issues of global migration and initial teacher education.
