Dr. Rebecca English is a university researcher, teacher and homeschooling mother whose work is concerned with parenting and education. She has an interest in the ways parents make choices about schooling their children, aligning beliefs about family, parenting and other factors.
Her particular interest is in the choice of non-mainstream education, especially democratic schools and home education and how these choices affect children’s experience of agency and autonomy. Rebecca asks questions about how families enact power and agency decisions in their lived experiences and choices around education, health and parenting.
