  • Professor Lorna Unwin

    Chair in Vocational Education and Deputy Director of the LLAKES Research Centre

    Institute of Education, University of London

    Lorna Unwin holds the Chair in Vocational Education and is Deputy Director of the ESRC-funded LLAKES Research Centre at the Institute of Education, University of London.  She was born and went to university in Manchester and then trained and worked as a journalist. Her interest in education began when she worked as a volunteer adult literacy tutor in the 1970s. She then taught in further education colleges and adult education centres, and worked as a training consultant. Lorna’s research interests include the relationship between work and communities over time, the meaning of work in people’s lives, and the implications for education and social mobility of the changing nature of urban landscapes. Lorna is a born and bred Manchester United supporter and would really have liked to have been a tennis playing rock star – but it’s perhaps a bit late for that now.
