Tricia David, Emeritus Professor of Education

Tricia David has been involved in research about young children's learning since 1974, when she worked at Keele University as a member of the (then) DES-funded research project Play, Exploration and Learning. Following many years as a teacher, headteacher, community educator and subsequently a lecturer and researcher at the University of Warwick, Tricia is especially interested in the ways in which time and place influence assumptions about babies and young children.

She has worked on a number of international projects, including the OECD survey of Early Childhood Education and Care provision, Starting Strong, and for the British Council in China. National work includes being lead author of the research review for Birth to Three Matters for the DfES.
