Dr Claire Kinsella is a committee member of the Alternative Provision Research Network, a network of scholars and practitioners working in AP who are committed to social justice for children in alternative forms of provision. This means rethinking AP in ways that incorporate children’s voices on their education, and challenging taken-for-granted assumptions about education where they are problematic.
Claire has a particular interest in pedagogies for the development of learner agency and her PhD research focused on critically examining the psychosocial dimensions of learner engagement in a creative arts initiative in an Alternative Provision in north-west England. She has taught in a range of different higher education settings on a variety of different degree programmes including Education Studies, Educational Psychology, Early Childhood Studies, Special Educational Needs and Disability, and Primary Education.
