Charlotte joined Edge Hill University in September 2015 as a senior lecturer in physical activity and physical education psychology after working as a lecturer in sport and physical education at the University of Bedfordshire. Charlotte received a first class (hons) degree in sports studies (BSc) from De Monfort University in 2008 and went on to complete a PG Cert in physical activity and well-being at the University of Bedfordshire in 2009. In 2013 Charlotte completed a PhD at the University of Bedfordshire with a thesis entitled “Relationships between body image, motivation and physical education experiences in 13-14 year old boys and girls”. Charlottes overarching research theme focuses on the role of physical education in promoting physical activity, specifically, focusing on the role of social psychological factors in this process. She is interested in the impact of body image concerns on experiences of physical education and physical activity in children and adolescents. Moreover, she has an interest in understanding children and adolescents motivation for physical activity and physical education, using Self-Determination Theory as a guiding framework. Charlotte has worked on a number of externally funded projects within the field and has recently secured funding for a project that explores the pedagogical and motivational implications of wearable technology in adolescents.
