Victoria Carrington is Professor and Associate Dean of Research and Innovation in the Faculty of Education at the University of Plymouth. She has also taught at the University of Queensland, and has published widely on emergent literacies, new technologies and early adolescent cultures.
Carrington challenges current conceptions of middle years schooling, arguing that educators need to take more account of the experiences of 10-14 year olds in a digitalised, consumer-driven world.
