    Kathryn Ecclestone is Professor of Education and Social Inclusion in the College of Social Sciences at the University of Birmingham. Before moving into higher education in 1992, Kathryn worked for 20 years in further and adult education.  Her research explores the ways in which education policy affects teachers’ and students’ ideas about education, and the teaching and assessment practices they take part in.  Her current research focuses on the rise of personal development, social skills and well-being and how these are changing subject-based knowledge and the purposes of education.  Kathryn has published numerous books and articles, including The Dangerous Rise of Therapeutic Education, co-authored with Dennis Hayes, and spoken in many public and professional debates around these areas of interest.
