Professor Hulme plays a key role in leading research at the International Centre for Educational Enhancement (ICEE) and the School of Education, primarily in educational leadership and school improvement. The Centre’s research is grounded in practice and aims to strengthen equity in education.

Moira was previously Professor of Teacher Education at Manchester Metropolitan University (2016-22), where she was Head of Faculty Research Degrees and led the Research Group on Teacher Education: Curriculum, Leadership & Inclusion. Prior to that, Moira held academic and research posts at the University of Glasgow and Keele University.

Professor Hulme’s research outputs were returned in the last three UK research assessments (RAE/REF) and featured in the impact case studies Empowering teachers through transformative pedagogies (REF21) and Shaping the Transformation of Initial Teacher Education in Scotland (RAE 2014). She has authored over one hundred research publications.

Her knowledge exchange portfolio includes Continuum of Provision (2021), an initiative introduced by the Department for Education Opportunity Area programme to reduce school exclusions and improve support for high needs pupils. She led evaluations of Pathways to Success (2019), a strategy to accelerate improvement across Knowsley’s primary and secondary schools, and the Equity and Wellbeing Strategy (2020), Support for Newly Qualified Teachers (2019) and Cluster-Based Approaches to School Improvement (2018) in Wales.

Professor Hulme has extensive experience of mentoring early career/postdoctoral researchers and graduate students. Her commitment to collaborative research practice is evidenced in a track record of joint-working and co-authorship at four universities. Recent completions include research by international students addressing policy for schools in China, Libya and Tanzania, as well UK students researching professional learning and school improvement. Moira has examined doctoral dissertations for DEd (Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne), EdD and PhD (University of Oxford, Exeter University, Lancaster University, University of Strathclyde).

Research Interests and Research Subject Specialisms:
Professor Hume’s research coheres around professional learning, leadership and school improvement. She is interested in ‘rich accountabilities’ through collaborative peer review and practitioner enquiry. Her current work explores the interaction of local and lateral quality processes with central regulatory frameworks.

Teaching specialisms;
Moira co-leads the Professional Doctorate in Educational Leadership. She contributes to the core modules on Research Methodologies, Curriculum, Practicum, Leadership and Organisational Transformation.

Professor Hulme’s research informs programme design and collaborative partnership development. She has championed practitioner research engagement and supported the development of professional learning pathways that stretch from professional preparation (pre-service) through to EdD/PhD.
