In a groundbreaking study in 2022, Lewis and his team asked 400 teachers to mark the same piece of work but provided different pupil contexts to the teachers before they began. The results were fascinating. Lewis talks about the research and what we can learn from it as both educators and members of wider society. The full report can be found in the British Journal of Educational Psychology here. Lewis is a post-doctoral researcher at the Université de Poitiers and a visiting researcher at the University of Sussex.
