Dr Emma Craddock, Teaching Fellow at the Centre for Lifelong Learning has had her latest article; ‘Doing “enough” of the “right” thing: the gendered dimension of the “ideal activist” identity and its negative emotional consequences’ published in the Social Movement Studies journal.

Emma, who works across the undergraduate programmes is featured in Volume 18, 2019, of the Social Movement Studies journal. The article explores how the activist identity is constructed within a local anti-austerity activist culture, how it is implicitly gendered, and the emotional implications of this.

Joining the Centre for Lifelong Learning in the 2018-19 academic Year, Emma is currently module leader for CE204 Research Methods and CE1D1 Foundations in Social Studies and is involved as a supervisor and tutor for the CE304 Dissertation module. Her teaching interests include research methods; philosophy of research; gender; social theory; the media and popular culture; social movements.
