Professor Hoskins has previously led EU funded research whilst employed at the University of Southampton that explored the effects of the economic crisis on Active Citizenship in the EU. Prior to this and when employed at IoE/UCL she led the ESRC funded comparative research on Inequalities that explored the effects of different country education systems on civic attitudes.
Professor Hoskins has 7 years of policy experience having previously worked at the Council of Europe in France leading on youth research, at the European Commission in Belgium and then in Italy leading the development of indicators on Active Citizenship. She has extensive experience of performing consultancies for UNICEF, UNESCO, European Commission, Council of Europe and the UK cabinet office on topics such as Measuring Citizenship, Education and the European Union.

Naglaa Elbaz - Exploring the perceptions of policy implementation in Egyptian secondary schools through the perspectives of teachers and headteachers
Her recently successful PhD students are;
Dr Jinyu Yang: whose PhD was on Learning Citizenship and Political Engagement at University in the UK and China. This study is using mixed method research including the analysis of the Citizenship Education Longitudinal data to explore if university has an effect on engagement and establish which methods are effective.
Dr LiYuan Liu: Whose Phd was on Exploring the Relationship between Education, Economy and Individual Civic Attitudes in Europe and Asia. This study is quantitative and uses multilevel modelling to analyse World Values Survey and the IEA International Citizenship and Civic education Study data to identify if education plays a mediating role between the economic situation in a country and civic attitudes.

- Political socialization/ citizenship education
