Sophie Johnson is a Researcher at Northumbria University's Department of Social Work, Education & Community Wellbeing. Her work focuses on mitigating socioeconomic inequality through classical studies and pedagogy. She holds a PhD from Northumbria University (2023), an MA in Classical Studies & Philosophy (Open University, 2022), a PGCE in Primary Education (Newcastle University, 2018), and a BA in History & Politics (2015).
Her doctoral research explored how integrating ancient philosophy—via Homer’s The Odyssey—into primary education can enhance self-efficacy among students in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas of the North East of England. This action research employed a 10-week intervention in contrasting schools, using Socratic seminars to foster critical dialogue.
Johnson collaborates on policy development for education systems and public health, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals on reduced inequalities and social mobility. Her 2024 research output details her findings on the transformative potential of classical storytelling in empowering marginalized youth.
