The Golden Threads Podcast: Career and Research Stories with the Childhood, Youth and Families (CYF) Team

Description

Episode 3: Candiece Spencer

Rationale:
‘An individual life, and the role it plays in the larger community, is best understood through story. Telling our story enables us to be heard, recognised, and acknowledged by others. Story makes the implicit explicit, the hidden seen, the unformed formed and the confusing clear’.
Atkinson, R. (1998) ‘The Life Story Interview’. A Sage University Paper. UK.

The Golden Threads podcasts ask what unites the teaching, learning and research of our Childhood, Youth and Families team.

Telling their professional and personal journey to Golden Threads hosts Dr Helen Simmons and Robin Sturman-Coombs in this episode is Senior Lecturer in Education Candiece Spencer.
Originally set to study a different degree, an inspirational talk at UON caused Candiece to take a new direction.

Candiece talks about this and her MA dissertation that looked at the transition to secondary school for children with a special educational need, becoming a more empathetic and compassionate person and practitioner, being a Formula 1 fan and chose her top books for listeners to read.
