Dr Marta Cristina Azaola is Lecturer within Southampton Education School at the University of Southampton.

Marta Cristina joined Southampton Education School in December 2009. Her areas of interest lie in the fields of sociology of education, focusing particularly on theories of social reproduction and critical theory. Her work is concerned with educational inequalities, including social participation in education in deprived areas. She has worked on a range of projects exploring the ways in which home-school-community links impact the educational and occupational trajectories of individuals in rural Mexico; issues of choice, opportunity, and wellbeing amongst migrant pupils as well as gender, mothering and leadership issues. A graduate of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, she holds an MA in Educational Research from Lancaster University and a PhD from the University of Bristol.

Research interests

I am interested in understanding social inequalities and how different school experiences affect peoples’ life opportunities and expectations. I am also interested in looking at people’s agency in contexts of social disadvantage in order to understand its role in people’s achievements. I would welcome proposals in related topics.
