A wish to engage as a community with those texts which lingered in our peripheral vision.
A Reading Network.
Lucy Dixon
Lucy is a current PhD candidate at the University of Winchester, with her thesis looking at the levels of 'Aryan' women's complicity in National Socialism through the intersections of maternity, care and thinking. She takes most of her influence from political philosopher, Hannah Arendt and care ethics thinker, Virginia Held. She loves all things HE, especially sitting on a board of trustees for Winchester Student Union and her job in Schools and Colleges (UK Student Recruitment).
Elizabeth O’Brien
Elizabeth is a secondary and university educator in Ireland, and PhD candidate at University College Dublin, developing a philosophical consideration of initial teacher education in light of recent reforms in Ireland.

Refika Arabaci
Refika is a PhD student at Brunel University London who is currently undertaking research on citizenship education in England. As her thesis involves the question of the purpose of citizenship education, she seeks a better understanding of the aims and roles of education in general by engaging with this amazing reading group.
