Robert Hindle

My career in education began as a teacher of economics and business in the early 1990s at a sixth form college with a diverse intake. This is where my interest in social justice and diversity developed, with a HEFC funded research report on barriers to the progression to university of Pakistani heritage boys.  I've worked as a senior leader in two colleges and also as a Head of Department in an international school.  My career experience spans academic and pastoral roles. I'm also Chair of Governors at a local Secondary school.

I teach undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and am the Subject Lead for the Secondary PGCE in Economics/Business Education in Manchester Institute of Education.  My research interests are in social justice and radicalisation and extremism, including the workings of the Prevent duty in schools and colleges. I've also an interest in teacher supply and recruitment, especially economics teaching.
