Dr Patrick Buckland
Research interests
My research interests are leadership and organisational behaviour, specifically gender in terms of how women view their career progression and leadership role. My research takes a social psychological perspective and explores the perceived realities that women face in the work force.
I also have an interest in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, its potential to personalise learning and address educational disparities, while also tackling the challenges of the digital divide and ensuring ethical use.
