Jane Thompson - Principal
Research Officer
Jane Thompson is a Principal Research Officer at NIACE. She has
worked in Adult and Community Learning for many years and has considerable
experience of teaching and writing about educational policy and
practice, especially in relation to women's education, social exclusion
and education for social change. Before joining NIACE in 2000 she
worked at Ruskin College Oxford and the University of Southampton.
At NIACE, Jane is working on developments which contest social
exclusion, especially in relation to democratic learning, active
citizenship and cultural action.
She is an honorary research fellow at the University of Warwick
and an advisor to the Centre for Research in Lifelong Learning at
Glasgow University. She is a frequent contributor to national and
international conferences. Jane's current work includes a study
that re-conceptualises the place of culture in lifelong learning;
the production of resource materials for democratic learning, citizen
consultation and community cohesion; and a review of HE provision
in further education colleges. She is currently working on a book
that reviews the impact of feminism on women's lives during the
last thirty years.
