This is Tanya Osborne, one of our new PhD-students
My undergraduate degree was in Philosophy, with a focus on philosophy of social science, which I completed in 2009. After graduating I worked in the UK Department for Education, giving support to schools on implementing 14-19 technical education. After the body I worked for was disbanded, I worked in higher education quality assurance, and helped 4 different UK universities with their external educational audit and review processes. During this time I did a Masters Degree in Higher Education Research. I came to Sweden in 2018, and for a while I was a technical writer and editor. My real passion is Education, and I was delighted to I join IPKL as a doctoral student in January 2020.
My research focus within education is equality and technology. In particular I am interested in disability, race, and gender equality in post-16 and adult educational settings, from the perspective of epistemic ignorance. I’m working at IPKL within the BALANCED and SOCDEX projects. I am really excited to be part of an academic community again, and I am looking forward to getting to know you all better, and finding opportunities to collaborate.
In my personal life, I like music, games and calligraphy.
