Duna Sabri is Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre for Public Policy, King’s College, London and an independent researcher.  Her research interests are in the sociology of higher education, pedagogy, institutional and (inter)national policy relating to HE, and the use of social theory in empirical research.

Since completing her D Phil at the University of Oxford’s Department of Educational Studies in 2007 on the assumptive worlds of academics and policymakers, she has been commissioned to undertake institutional research on topics such as students’ drop-out from HE, ethnic and racial identity in HE, assessment practices and the social and political functions of students’ evaluations of teaching such as the UK’s national student survey.  She is currently leading a longitudinal study of students’ identity, curriculum and experiences of HE which integrates statistical and qualitative methods to illuminate patterns of inequality in students’ attainment.
