Biography
Lizzie Gauntlett is a postgraduate researcher in the Faculty of Health and Social Science at Bournemouth University. She is an experienced textbook author, examiner and teacher of post-compulsory education. In 2012, she moved into the field of Widening Participation in a higher education practitioner role. Lizzie’s PhD studentship is funded by the Bournemouth University Fair Access project and intends to offer insight into processes that enhance student success.
Research
Her work is concerned with exploring the phenomenon of resilience through the lived experience of low-income HE students. Whilst there is much focus on students from widening participation backgrounds who drop-out or underachieve, much less is known about those who persist and succeed. Thus, resilience as part of a positive psychology model can be used to listen to those ‘quiet voices’ which tell us about the everyday experience for these students.
