Louise’s doctoral research investigates how teachers become who they are, situating the schoolteacher as a particular type of subject. Her study combines Foucauldian theory, Critical Discourse Analysis, and Narrative Analysis to provide an account of schoolteachers’ ethical agency in the context of top-down policy practices.
Louise is a Doctoral Teaching Fellow at the Department of Education, where she teaches and supervises students in the MSc in Learning and Teaching and in the PGCE (English) courses.
Her research interests include: the history of education and education policy, history of philosophy and the philosophy of education.
