Personal statement

I am a Chancellor’s Fellow at the Strathclyde Institute of Education. My research interests include inclusive education, children and young people's participation, sustainable development, and technology. I have led research projects funded by the ESRC, the NERC and the British Council. I was a co-editor for the award-winning book ‘Artificial Intelligence and Inclusive Education: Speculative Futures and Emerging Practices’. I was also a core member of the writing group which produced the 3rd edition of Scotland's 'National Framework for Inclusion'.

I am the module leader of ‘Inclusive Pedagogy’ (PGCert Inclusive Education), and a co-lead of the interdisciplinary Strathclyde Centre for Doctoral Training ‘Human-centred AI Technologies for Inclusion in Education and Society’. Below is a list of my current doctoral students:

Xunrou Shen. Rethinking parental engagement under the Covid-19 crisis through a Froebelian lens: bringing young children’s voices to the front.

Jingyi Yang. Understanding anti-racist pedagogy in British classrooms.

Noor Ul Ain. Artificial Intelligence in inclusive education: teachers’ perspectives.

Ashwitha Devasya. Classroom engagement analysis and feedback using multimodal emotion recognition.

ASN & Inclusion: Here and now, co-creating everyday possibilities for the inclusion of every child
Catlin, Jane (Principal Investigator) Mevawalla, Zinnia (Principal Investigator) Wang, Yuchen (Principal Investigator)
This session is for all educators who wish to deepen and extend
their thinking around working with and for an increasingly diverse learning
community. We will explore concepts from key scholars in the field of
inclusive education to unpack what ‘inclusion’ and ‘additional support
needs’ should mean for practice. We offer an opportunity to develop
strengths-based perspectives and identify positive actions we can all take on
these pressing issues for our current times.
