Research in The School of Education

Here in the School of Education we value research that has an impact. We believe it is important to work in ways that make a difference to people’s lives and work and to theory, practice, and society. Our research is rooted in local, regional, national and international contexts.

We are an inclusive research community and embrace diverse approaches to research and theory. We encourage collaborative involvement with professional groups, community projects and many more.

Our research is organised in four Research Centres focusing on: children, families and learning communities; educational development and professional lives; higher education and lifelong learning; and literacies. All four Centres foster the development of research and sharing of ideas through collaboration with each other and with external partners and through interdisciplinary initiatives.

We have a vibrant programme of seminars, workshops, reading groups, postgraduate meetings and conferences, many of which are open to the public.
