The School of Management and Social Sciences at St Mary’s University, Twickenham, has recently appointed Dr Caroline Healy as a Lecturer in its Educational and Social Science Department.
Dr Healy will be lecturing on the University's MA in Education, Culture and Society programme and will help to develop new modules for St Mary’s undergraduate Education and Social Science programme concerning the relationship between education and health, and educational management and leadership.
Dr Healy has conducted research in many different areas and levels of education including international education, schools education, government reforms of higher education, comparative higher education, widening participation, lifelong learning and informal learning. She is particularly interested in the politics of education and the ever-changing relationship between education, government and the market.
Delighted to be joining St Mary’s at a very exciting new stage of its development as a University, Dr Healy said, “It is a tremendous privilege to be given such an important responsibility of teaching our next generation of educators and educational leaders for the UK and globally. While I have only been here a short time, it has already been enormously rewarding working with all the students and team in the Education and Social Science Department and School of Management and Social Sciences. The whole of the St Mary’s community has been kind and made me feel very welcome indeed.”
Dr Healy has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with students at St Mary’s. She has a BA in American Studies and Politics from the University of Wales and an MA in Political Science is from the University of Massachusetts. She continued her studies in London at Brunel University in the Department of Government and Politics and completed her PhD on the development of internationalisation policy of UK higher education, under the mentorship of Professor Maurice Kogan.
Prior to joining St Mary’s, Dr Healy was teaching on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick in Ireland (2002-2014), including the BA Liberal Arts Degree and MA in Christian Leadership in Education.
Between 1996-2002, she was based at the specialist Centre for the Evaluation of Public Policy and Practice in the Department of Government and Politics at Brunel University, London. She carried out research on education, higher education and health policies. Much of this was comparative in focus and involved working with, and in, many countries across Europe.
