Kate Westwood Author

Kate Westwood is a researcher in the Institute for Children’s Futures at Manchester Metropolitan University. Since 2011, her work as a researcher and practitioner has primarily been concerned with children and young people who are school-excluded, justice-involved, or engaging in out-of-school education in their communities. Her research takes multiple perspectives and approaches from Sociology, Linguistics, and Participatory Research to foreground the voices of children in driving the educational and justice reform they want to see.
