This PhD level project will involve an empirical investigation into the use of
cognitive concepts in teaching and education. The precise focus of study is
dependent upon candidates’ specific interests and expertise and is open to

of a multimodal corpus or the development of educational software programmes.
It may incorporate quantitative and/or qualitative methods. 

The successful candidate will undertake PhD level study, working in tandem
with similar research currently being undertaken by Dr Sarah Duffy and
Professor Ewa Dabrowska, as well as associated PhD students in the Institute
of Humanities at Northumbria University.
