Charlotte Chadderton

Charlotte Chadderton is Research Professor of Education at the University of Derby's College of Arts, Humanities and Education. Her research critically examines race, inequality, and social justice in education systems, with particular focus on policy impacts on minoritized groups. Professor Chadderton's work spans critical race theory, refugee education, and the sociology of education.

Her scholarship explores how educational policies reproduce racial inequalities, with recent investigations into necropolitics during COVID-19, white supremacy in elite universities, and refugee education disparities in England and Germany. Publications demonstrate strong theoretical foundations in critical race theory and post-colonial analysis.

Professor Chadderton has developed conceptual frameworks including adaptations of Yosso's Community Cultural Wealth model for UK educational contexts. Her critical analyses reveal how state apparatuses maintain structural inequalities through education systems.

She collaborates internationally on comparative education projects, particularly examining disaster education and security policies. Her book 'Judith Butler, Race and Education' establishes theoretical connections between performativity theory and racial formation in educational settings.
