Personal profile

I serve as an Associate Professor in Education at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge. I am the executive editor of the Cambridge Journal of Education. I also serve as Fellow, Dean of College, and Director of Studies in Education at Queens’ College.

My scholarship examines how education maintains and contests 'race' and racism as a global system of power, particularly through arts and humanities education. I pride myself as a teacher who builds meaningful and transformative learning communities with students. My core values centre on mutual respect, collaboration, and the pursuit of knowledge that challenges social inequities.

I have won several teaching awards, including: 'the best doctoral supervisor' in the UK (2023); the University of Cambridge's 'best lecturer' (2019); and, I was the recipient of the Cambridge Faculty of Education's Teaching Award (2024). the University of Cambridge Student Union recognised me with a 'Student Partnership and Empowerment Award' (2023).
