My main interest is adult literacy and I completed my master dissertation on the literacy practices of a group of immigrants in central Athens, with a focus on issues of power and symbolic capital. I am now on my first year as a PhD student in Lancaster University. My field of research is the workplace and more specifically I am exploring the literacy practices taken up by employees while going through vocational assessment. I have a strong interest on qualitative research and I use ethnographic methods to curry out my research.
