Judith Loveridge is a senior lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington. She is particularly interested in the intersection between social and cultural processes and individuals’ learning and development. Her major on-going area of research concerns the ways in which children and adults learn and develop through their experiences of implicit cultural practices, as well as through the experiences they have as a result of explicitly stated educational goals and pedagogical philosophies and practices. This theme has been addressed through research examining young children’s learning in home, community and educational settings, children’s enculturation, home, centre and school relations, and adults’ learning in informal contexts. A related research interest is the question of how to appropriately and authentically involve children and young people in research. Ensuring that the diversity of groups’ and individuals’ experiences is given expression has been another important theme in her research.
