Laela Adamson

I am currently a Lecturer in Education Policy in the School of Education at the University of Strathclyde. Before this, I was an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Education at the University of Bath. I completed my PhD in 2020 at the UCL Institute for Education, with my thesis looking at students' negotiations of their language environment in two secondary schools in Tanzania. I have 10 years experience as a secondary History teacher in the UK, and held a school Research Lead role, supporting teachers and students to engage in and with research. I have also worked with the NGO READ International / READ Tanzania.
