Lisa Long

As Higher Education Research and Support Officer, Lisa supports the LITE fellows from developing a research idea through to developing approaches to methods, designing ethical research and thinking about disseminating findings and creating impact. She also supports the LITE Inclusive Education & Belonging Incubator

Lisa also conducts her own research in PedRes/SoTL and is interested in inclusive education and belonging more broadly and decolonising education, anti-racist classrooms and the possibilities for student sense of belonging and educational gain.

Before joining LITE Lisa was a Senior Lecturer in School of Social Sciences at Leeds Beckett University, and then a Course Director for MA Provision in the Carnegie School of Education, where she developed her passion for inclusive education. She has previously supported the development of a decolonising curriculum toolkit as part of an international Higher Education and Societal Transformation: Decolonisation and Racial Equality workshop held at the University of Brasilia.

Lisa completed her PhD at University of Leeds in 2016. Her research focused on racism in policing using qualitative interviews. She has recently completed a mixed methods (survey and qualitative interviews) research project on Global Majority Women’s experience of policing in England and Wales utilising a Critical Race Feminist/intersectional Lens.
