Biography

Kirsty Finn is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Manchester. Her research and teaching primarily focus on educational inequalities and the relational emotional dimensions of student experiences, particularly how these aspects shape and are reflected in policy and popular discourses such as 'belonging' and 'wellbeing'. She investigates the interactions between employment, students, and graduates, including graduate employability and the implications of part-time work and entrepreneurial activities. As a Co-Investigator on the study 'L-earning: Rethinking young women's working lives', Finn explores young women’s early working experiences and how these contribute to gendered inequalities. Her work is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and aims to contribute insights into the dynamics of student transitions and employment.
