Elinor Lieber

I am a mixed-methods researcher with a background in Criminology and Anthropology. I joined Cambridge University Press & Assessment in September 2023, where I now conduct research in the Qualifications and Assessment strand. I am currently involved in several projects including a study investigating how schools use the Cambridge Wellbeing Check offered by CEM, and how different countries address Climate Change Education.

Prior to joining ARD, I worked on my PhD at the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Criminology. My PhD explores social life in prison, and more specifically the various ways in which men in prison support one another throughout their sentence. I am currently writing up my thesis. I also worked as a Research Assistant in the Institute’s Prisons Research Centre and was involved in various research projects, including an evaluation of reading groups in prison and a series of Ministry of Justice commissioned inspections of prisons.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my toddler, cooking, travelling, and reading.
