Dr Giuliana Ferri
HP Lecturer - Education

Summary

I am a qualified teacher and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and before working in Higher Education I taught for over 10 years in multicultural and multilingual primary schools in inner London, where I developed an interest in interculturalism, in English as an additional language and in critical pedagogies.

I have a range of research interests broadly focused on critical pedagogies; language, culture and identity; language and intercultural communication; gender, ethnicity and race. My work in this area draws on post-modernism and postcolonialism particularly in relation to the methodological implications of explorative and participatory approaches to research.
