Jodie Pennacchia

Dr Jodie Pennacchia is a Research Fellow in the Education Equity Initiative at The University of Birmingham. Jodie’s research focuses on the educational offer for learners excluded from/not following ‘traditional’, high-status or linear academic trajectories. This has led to a particular interest in how educational inequalities can be created and ameliorated through schools, alternative provision and the further education sector. Jodie has undertaken research funded by The Prince’s Trust, The Department for Education, The Economic and Social Research Council and Teach First.
