Jo-Anne Dillabough is Professor of the Sociology of Education at the University of Cambridge and Director of Studies for Sociology at Homerton College. Her scholarship brings together sociology of education, social theory—particularly the work of Hannah Arendt—studies of exile, memory, Critical Youth Studies, and, more recently, the sociology of intellectuals. She has been a visiting scholar at universities in Australia, Argentina, Norway, Finland, Italy, Portugal and Sweden, and previously held the David Lam Chair in Multicultural Education (UBC). Dillabough has published five books and extensively in leading international journals. She is currently completing a monograph, Hannah Arendt and the Ambivalent Intellectual in a Changing Global Order, and co-editing Academic Freedom in Turbulent Times (with E. Buckner). A former co-editor of Gender and Education, she consults for organisations such as UNESCO, was lead PI on the ESRC-funded Universities & Crisis project, and serves as Director of the University of Cambridge’s Hannah Arendt Consortium on Crises and Political Transformation. She also continues her research on marginalised young lives living in Global Cities.
