Professor Ellen Boeren - School of Education - University of Glasgow

I am Professor Ellen Boeren and currently work at the University of Glasgow I obtained my PhD in Educational Sciences in May 2011 from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. I moved to Glasgow in July 2019, having spent 7 years and 2 months at the Moray House School of Education at the University of Edinburgh.

 

My research interests are situated in the field of higher/adult/lifelong education. I conduct (European) comparative research and have a special interest in survey methodology. I went through the Thomas J. Alexander fellowship with the OECD (funded by George Soros' Open Society Foundation)  and was the Edinburgh team lead on the Horizon 2020 funded project ENLIVEN - Encouraging Lifelong Learning for a Vibrant and Inclusive Europe .(see http://www.h2020enliven.org). During 2017 - 2019, I worked on an Erasmus+ project with partners in Spain, Italy and Poland. I am the sole author of 'Lifelong Learning Participation in a Changing Policy Context: an Interdisciplinary Theory' for which I won the Cyril O. Houle Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Adult Education Literature. I have published multiple journal articles, book chapters and commissioned reports.


I am open to receiving Expressions of Interests from students interested in undertaking PhD research in the areas of adult and higher education, comparative education and survey research.
