Sarah Winkler-Reid

Lecturer in Social Anthropology, Newcastle University

I am a social anthropologist focusing on growing up in contemporary Britain and questions of learning, personhood and ordinary ethics. I conducted fieldwork in a secondary school in London and explore these questions through an in-depth focus on young people's everyday lives in school.

I joined Newcastle University as a Lecturer in Social Anthropology in 2015. Prior to this I was a Teaching Fellow in Anthropology in the department of Archaeology and Anthropology at Bristol. I received my PhD in Anthropology from Brunel University.
