Senior Professor and Head of Faculty (Dean), Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge
Professor Hilary Cremin is a Senior Professor and Head of Faculty (Dean) in the Faculty of Education. She co-chairs the THRiVE research group which investigates human thriving in and through education. This includes topics such as wellbeing, peace education, conflict, equity, inclusion and social justice.
Hilary’s own work focusses on education, peace and conflict. Her book Positive Peace in Schools outlines a framework for peace education in schools and communities. It forms the basis for her most recent peace education research project – the Cambridge Positive Peace Hub – which is creating an interactive digital platform for schools globally whilst supporting a global network of peace educators, researchers, policy makers, visionaries and young people.
Before moving to Cambridge University in 2008, she worked at the Leicester University School of Education, and before that at Oxford Brookes University. Before going into the higher education sector, Hilary set up and ran Catalyst Conflict and Change Limited, a company which specialised in the promotion of social and emotional well-being in schools, and conflict resolution training for adults and children.
