Dr Jonathan Vincent

Lecturer in Higher Education

Research Overview

My research focuses on the nature and experience of life course transitions for disabled university students and graduates, with particular emphases on education and employment. I am also interested in how belonging in higher education is theorised and experienced.

I typically draw on qualitative, and where possible inclusive, methodologies to uncover rich data from among hard-to-reach populations. I am engaged in a range of ongoing collaborations across the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Finland, Canada, and the United States of America.
