Lisa Louise McKenzie (born March 1968) is a British anarchist and senior lecturer at the University of Bedfordshire whose work relates to class inequality, social justice, and British working class culture. She was active in the Class War party.Dr Lisa McKenzieSenior Lecturer in SociologyLisa McKenzieAs a researcher and an educator I am keen to develop research proposals, community collaborations and student projects focusing upon class inequality using a collaborative ethnographic approach. I am particularly interested in how research, teaching and community engagement can collaborate in paradigms of social justice through the use of higher education, and innovative research methodology.My research interests are the continuation and development of research proposals focusing upon class inequality and council estates within the UK. This especially relates to those communities who are presently living through a period of adversity, as the consequences of the UK’s austerity measures have major impacts upon public services, housing and welfare entitlements.QualificationsPhD Sociology - University of NottinghamMA Research methods – University of NottinghamBSc Hons Sociology and Social Policy – University of NottinghamTeaching Expertise2019- Date – University of Durham – Assistant ProfessorConvener of Undergraduate modules – Self and Identity – Community Placement ModuleDissertation SupervisorPost-Graduate Supervisor Masters and PhDExternal Examiner: Limerick University Ireland Masters in Youth and Community Service.2017-2019 Middlesex University: Lecturer in Practical SociologyConvener of 1st Year Undergraduate Module ‘Doing Things Together’Convener of 3rd Year Undergraduate module ‘Social Movements, Social Change’2013- 2017: London School of EconomicsConvener of MSC Class, Politics, CultureConvener of PhD Working Group, teaching on Under-Graduate and Masters programmes2005 -2013 : School of Sociology, University of NottinghamLecturer in SociologyUnder-graduate personal tutor, promoting and safeguarding the health welfare and safety of students2008- 2010: Part time lecture and tutor School of Social sciences, The Nottingham Trent University: Collaborated with module convener in devising, and writing lectures for ‘Youth Transitions and Education’, wrote and gave four out of ten lectures, and lead weekly seminar groups.Part-Time Tutor; Access to Nursing, and Social Science at The Castle College Nottingham; Lecture, and teach sociology on the Access to Nursing course, marking essays, giving one to one tutorials.
