Colin Brough serves as a Teaching Fellow in Physical Education at the Institute for Sport, Physical Education and Health Sciences (ISPEHS) within the Moray House School of Education and Sport at the University of Edinburgh, where he teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses spanning health, wellbeing, physical culture, and educational studies.
His academic qualifications include:
- PhD in Education (2013-2020): Thesis examining educational narratives of young men in foster care with single male carers
- MSc in Education (2011-2012): Research on local authority roles in parenting looked-after adolescents
Dr Brough's research centers on vulnerable youth education through frameworks of care experience and social pedagogy. His work investigates relational dynamics in foster care settings and peer support systems in higher education, emphasizing how narrative approaches illuminate educational upbringing (Erziehung) in non-traditional family structures. He actively explores applications of these principles to promote social justice and inclusion in educational contexts.
He welcomes PhD supervision inquiries in care experience, social pedagogy, relational pedagogy, and peer support systems. His professional engagements include an invited presentation at the Scottish Graduate School of Social Science Summer School (Dundee University, June 2024) addressing ethical research methodologies with vulnerable youth populations.
