Introducing…Dr. Rob Creasy

r creasy_v_Variation_1

Rob entered HE at the age of 25 having realised that he was not a very good electrician, and on the strength of an “O” level in Sociology (Grade B, still his only “O” level). He started teaching GCSE Sociology 3 years later when his “O” level tutor retired leaving a vacant class (Rotherham CAT was desperate). 28 years later he is still teaching sociology and still thinks that someone is going to find out sooner or later.  As YSJU students know, what he really wanted to do was play for Sheffield Wednesday but that was just for the cheers, he is an attention seeker!

Rob is best described as an academic drifter having degrees in Sociology, Social Policy & Education. He is currently completing a book which argues that education in England is tame and that this is not at all good. Instead, he argues, education should be wicked! (this is a term that’s quite trendy now in policy matters but the book draws heavily on sociology to make its point).
