Drawing on critical post-humanist theories and collaborative methodologies, Linda’s research is anchored in the working lives ofteachers. She is particularly interested in exploring intersections between institutional cultures, the impact of reform measures, policy implementation, and the effects these have on the everyday work of teachers.
