Mary’s research interests are principally focused on young people and social class, particularly in the field of education and the relationship between these and what they mean for experience and success in education. She has contributed to improved innovation and focus on learning programmes and their accessibility for wider participation students and those with more practical focus particularly from working class backgrounds. Such interests are also shared with the wider sociological community via the British Sociological Association and Mary is a contributor to discoversociety.org.
