Biography

Kathryn Telling is a Lecturer at the University of Manchester specializing in critical sociology and higher education. Her research is centered on the values and concerns of individuals studying and working in higher education, focusing on ethical practices within educational environments. Telling's recent project explored the increasing popularity of interdisciplinary degrees, particularly those branded as 'liberal arts' in English universities, analyzing the global trend away from undergraduate specialization towards general education. This research culminated in a monograph published by Bristol University Press in 2023 titled "Liberal Arts Paradox in Higher Education: Negotiating Inclusion and Prestige." She teaches core modules in BSc Education, emphasizing the integration of general knowledge and specialized expertise to foster student growth. Telling's expertise aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and her teaching reflects a commitment to ethical behavioral development in formal educational spaces. Her contributions to academic discourse include participation in organizing conferences and media contributions that address educational inequalities and curricular challenges.
