I'm Dr Amanda Nuttall and this is me and my mum at my PhD graduation 🥰

I'm a first in family to university, a former primary teacher and now an academic in teacher education. After a long wrestle with imposter syndrome I'm trying to make sense of the in‑between spaces where class, gender and professional identity collide.

Through autoethnography and film, I'm exploring the hidden barriers, emotional labour and moments of flourishing experienced by working‑class women in academia. If you'd like to help build this community or share your story please leave a post.
