Biography

Sue Anderson-Faithful is Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Education. A former deputy headteacher in the primary sector, she teaches history and the pedagogy of history. Her research interests are in Anglicanism, the history of women’s educational opportunities, gendered notions of womanhood informed by religion and women’s activism realised through philanthropy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her analytical approach draws on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and feminist geographies.

She is the joint editor of History of Education Researcher and The Sybil Campbell Collection Newsletter and a member of the Cluster for the History of Women's Education in the Centre of Research for Educational Action and Theory Exchange (CREATE). She shares her knowledge of local history as the guide and author of the Winchester Women’s History walk, e.g. at the annual Winchester Heritage Open Days.
