About me
Dr Craig Johnston's teaching and research interests lie in the study of youth, justice, exclusion and theories of the social and sociality affecting individuals and communities. His published work held a rating of 'world leading' and 'internationally excellent' in REF 2021 and his priority has been to engage in research with a social justice agenda that addresses social inequalities of all kinds and, thus, is currently interested in alternative provision and school exclusion. Craig also has over 25 years' experience working in the fields of Youth Justice, Psychology, Education, Social Work and Health across England, Scotland and USA. In his work with both statutory and non-statutory agencies, Craig has led various multi-disciplinary teams and, in 2015, led a local authority safeguarding team to its first OFSTED good practice award. He has held Doctoral, MA and BA level teaching commitments on Criminology, Education, Youth Work, Human Geography, Sociology and Social Work.
Craig currently supervises several Doctoral students, has examined Doctoral Vivas (internally and externally) and holds successful Doctoral student completions in a range of fields, such as class and degree apprenticeships, youth exclusion, pedgaogy and masculinity and informal education in statutory settings.
