Sally Baker

Sally Baker is a research student at The Open University and is currently working on her doctoral thesis which has the provisional title of ‘Students’ writing and the transition from school to university’, under the supervision of Dr Mary Lea and Dr Theresa Lillis. Her PhD is framed as an ethnographically styled exploration into the learning journeys of a group of students who are being followed from the last year of A levels to the end of the first year of university, using the academic literacies model as the conceptual framework.

Sally’s other research interests include the use of social network sites to facilitate longitudinal research, liminal literacies and exploring student writer identities.
