Jacky Brine
Professor
Jacky Brine (also Jackie, Jacqueline)
BA (Hons) Humanities, PGCE Adult & Further Education, PhD
• Independent researcher
• Emerita Professor, University of the West of England, Bristol
• Co-director of the Bristol Centre for Research in Lifelong Learning & Education (BRILLE) based in the University's Department of Education.
My main areas of research interest are:
i) policy sociology of the education, training and related social
policies of the European Union that reflect areas in which the
Commission has legal competency to act: higher education (eg Bologna),
lifelong learning, adult education & unemployment training,
vocational training.
ii) sociology of under-education and 'disaffection'; the relationship
between compulsory and post-compulsory education, (un)employability,
citizenship, lifelong and lifewide learning.
iii) the relationship of EU/UK education, training and social/welfare
policy to the labour market and the welfare state.
iv) doctoral education & supervision; pedagogy; professional doctorates; supervisor development; supervision and mentoring/coaching of doctoral students and academic colleagues.
v) policy sociology of the UK 1944 Education Act and tripartite
selective schooling within Bristol.
I am interested in feminist post-structural theory, the work of Foucault and Bourdieu, and the development of class-gender theorizing based on the analysis of published policy texts and interview data. I am also interested in auto/biography and the presence/absence of the researcher/author within the research process.
My teaching and management roles at the University of the West of England, focused mainly on doctoral education and the academic development of doctoral supervisors. I was Chair of the University Research Degrees Award Board, and prior to that, Faculty Director of Postgraduate Research. I have supervised 16 doctoral students (PhD and professional doctorate) to successful completion, and continue to supervise a further three. For several years I ran a regular evening seminar/workshop series for doctoral students, and developed annual conference events based on student papers and invited external presentations.
From 2002 – 2011 I developed and led the university’s cross-faculty team-taught academic development module for colleagues new to doctoral supervision: 'Supervising doctoral students: pedagogy and practice'. I also ran workshops for those about to become lead supervisors/directors of study, training for independent chairs of the final viva and for those new to doctoral examination.

Books by Jacky Brine
The work is based on a study of the ESF and social policy documents from the Treaty of Rome to the Treaty of Amsterdam. This analysis of ESF policy will be of particular use to those interested social and economic regeneration and in the impact of EU policies on individual member states.
Education and training policy is a key feature of regionalized blocs such as the EU, APEC, NAFTA & ASEAN. The book explores its gendered relationship to social policy and the social exclusion that results from the unequal material and social effects of economic growth - particularly the pathologization of unemployed women. Despite the growth of post-compulsory education and training, the relative and actual position of under-educated working class women changes little. Key to the discussion is the discourse of equality which, contrary to expectations, is seen to marginalize rather than increase women's opportunity.
