Dr Antony Luby

“A fulfilling culmination to a lifetime of teaching and research in secondary schools"

I graduated in 2019, having completed my thesis Dominican Thomist Pedagogy for a Post-Secular Society: Developing Dialogic Skills in RE for UK Secondary School Students. My supervisors were Professor James Conroy and Professor Robert Davis. I have particularly fond memories of being back in my home town.

Since graduating I have been working as a Senior Lecturer in Education at Northumbria University. I teach Education modules at undergraduate level, PGCE and Masters levels. I am also undertaking further school-based research, liaising with Amsterdam University of the Applied Sciences. My PhD studies have helped me publish several papers in peer-reviewed journals, and I am currently writing a book. My PhD was a fulfilling culmination of a lifetime of teaching and research in secondary schools.
