On this week's programme I bring you my interview with Professor Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Professor Lawrence-Lightfoot has written 10 books, including The Good High School: Portraits of Character and Culture and The Essential Conversation: What Parents and Teachers Can Learn from Each Other. In the course of our interview, we discussed the following matters:
- Diversity and tokenism
- Why education research needs to move away from a pathological approach
- An alternative approach to conducting educational research
- Visibility of children in classrooms
- When global atrocities make the news, how can they be handled in classrooms?
- What looking at education through a sociological lens can make visible
- The importance of context in social science research
- Portraiture as a form of research
- Her book Exit: The Endings that Set Us Free
- Why truth matters more than facts

I am going to be using Portraiture for my PhD dissertation. There were so many things that Professor Lawrence-Lightfoot said during the podcast that resonated with me and validated my methodology choice. Thank you for producing this.
