Dr Jackie Marsh

Dr Jackie Marsh is a senior lecturer in the School of Education at the University of Sheffield. She conducts research into young children's use of popular culture, media and new technologies and examines the relationship of these interests to their literacy development. Jackie looks at how these interests can be used in meaningful ways in nurseries and schools, and so is working with nursery teachers on developing a curriculum which involves film-making, and media-related reading and writing activities. She is also a team member of the Early Childhood Programmes and teaches the New Literacies MA.
