Lucy Hemingway

As a Research Assistant in LITE, Lucy supports fellows in conducting their pedagogical research from developing research ideas, designing methodological approaches to planning for impact and dissemination. She also supports the Inclusive Education and Belonging incubator and oversees the work of the LITE Student Research Assistants.

Lucy is developing her own pedagogical research focusing on the navigation of agency within higher education. This feeds into her broader research interests on teacher identities, equity within higher education, inclusive pedagogies and reflexivity.

Before joining LITE, Lucy held several Research Assistant posts for projects seeking to centre social justice approaches within education mostly through a decolonising lens.  Lucy has also conducted research at the intersection of both her literacy and social justice educational backgrounds, primarily exploring critical approaches to pedagogy and literacy as well as teachers’ literate identities. Lucy also has professional experience as an Academic Support Worker for disabled students.
