They will be able to support the department's enquiry-based approach to teaching and a situated, socio-cultural approach to literacy and numeracy studies. They will be familiar with the current government Skills Strategy and relevant policy issues. Possible research specialisms include adult literacy or numeracy in post-school settings, informal and work based learning and basic skills training, academic literacies, ICT and on-line learning.
