Vicki Trowler

Vicki Trowler is a Post-doctoral Research Assistant in Pedagogic Research at the University of Huddersfield, within the Department of Physical and Life Sciences in the School of Applied Sciences, and a member of the Centre for Human and Physical Geography. Her work focuses on advancing pedagogic research in higher education contexts.

Her research critically examines the intersection of student engagement with social justice, widening participation, and student transitions, while exploring the role of 'non-academic' staff in teaching, digital humanities applications, and online identity formation through blogging and social media. Key themes include knowledge management in academic computing and fostering inclusive educational practices.

Recent publications (2020-2024) demonstrate a cohesive trajectory toward inclusive higher education, addressing geoscience curriculum design, post-pandemic student support systems, reflective learning strategies, and methodological approaches to social justice research. These works emphasize practical interventions for student belonging and equitable educational access.

Dr. Trowler actively supervises PhD research aligned with her expertise and contributes to interdisciplinary initiatives through the Centre for Human and Physical Geography, bridging educational theory with geographical perspectives on learning environments.
