Sue Lewis
I started my academic career working for a professor and taking
Russian classes at Harvard while on my gap year. After returning to
the UK I graduated from King's College, London with a degree in
English Language and Literature. Following two years working in
Stockholm, I took up a post in West London to teach English and
Drama and to complete a theatre a.rts course, with a view to a
possible career in acting.
However, I chose to stay in the field of education and moved to
North Wales, eventually becoming Equal Opportunities Coordinator
for Clwyd, responsible for gender and race issues in schools and
college and for Traveller Education and ESL. During this time, I
represented Wales in the European Women's Lobby in
Brussels.
After gaining my MA in Education, I have been a lecturer at MMU
since 1993 moving from secondary ITT to becoming subject leader for
Education Studies within the Combined Honours Programme.
My research interests are in education for social justice and
mentoring for inclusion.
