Kate Adams
Dr Kate Adams worked as a primary teacher and RE co-ordinator in Lincolnshire before moving to Scotland to undertake her PhD at the University of Glasgow. Her doctorate explored a rarely considered aspect of children's spirituality - the religious dreams of Christian, Muslim and secular children. Of key interest to Kate is how children interpret and give meaning to their spiritual experiences and she seeks to give them a voice to express this through her work.
Kate is co-author of The Spiritual Dimension of Childhood with Brendan Hyde and Richard Woolley, published by Jessica Kingsley (London) in 2008, and is co-editor of Dreaming in Christianity and Islam which is due to be published in late 2009 by Rutgers University Press. Kate currently works as a Senior Lecturer in Education Studies at Bishop Grosseteste University College, Lincoln, where she has recently launched an undergraduate module on Children's Spirituality.
Kate has been presenting her research findings at international conferences for 10 years and continues to be available to speak at conferences. She also offers consultancy for schools who are seeking to improve their provision for children's spiritual development. She has a particularly strong interest in the spirituality of children who have not been raised in any faith tradition, and can help teachers to understand how children express and give meaning to their spiritual experiences.
