Esther Priyadharshini is Professor of Educational Futures at the School of Education & Lifelong Learning at the University of East Anglia. Esther's research is located in the intersection of futures studies, youth studies and education. Esther is interested in how processes of education, learning and research can be made to respond to social/global challenges and support the making of more desirable futures. To do this, she draws on feminisms, postcolonialism, new materialisms, and post humanist perspectives. She is interested in experimental and innovative approaches to research methodology (non-representational, speculative approaches and participatory perspectives). She is on the editorial board of Futures and Digital Culture and Education.
