Introduction

Chris Haywood is a Senior Lecturer whose main interests focus is on the cultural analysis of schooling and education. A key part of this work involves exploring the interplay between the institutionally-led discursive formation of identity categories and how those discourses are lived out. One areas of current concern is to think about how schools,  gender their pupils through age, racial and sexual categories. In short, how ideas and understandings of masculinity are employed to shape pupil's learning. Other areas of interest includes methodology and how developments in social and cultural theory are impacting upon, not simply the philosophical aspects of research design, but also their practical application. He is currently the Director Postgraduate Research in School of Arts and Cultures and Chair of the Board of Examiners for Media and Cultural Studies programmes.
