#BERA2022 Abigail Bowling now presenting on career decisions of support staff with degrees

#BERA2022 very interting hybridization of theory in Abigail Bowling ' theoretical thinking to research career choices of school support staff with degrees... bringing Bourdieu, Sen and Archer together. Way to go, Abby.

Fascinating to hear Abigail Bowling speak about her research on school support staff motivations. Especially liked the concept of a 'care-giving' career as opposed to 'care-free' and wondering how it applies to teaching #BERA2022
