Social Change, Equality, Inclusivity and Internationalisation

This research group draws together colleagues with interests in a wide range of issues centring on social change, justice and equality.

These include research into the technologisation, institutionalisation, stratification and categorisation of education along with related concerns regarding identity and difference, where we all share an interest in exploring some of the implications for educational practice.

Some of our current areas of interest include:

the interplay of institutional change, teacher identity and the difference in becoming/being a teacher
the technological framing of the apparatus of education
14-19 vocational education
the experiences of Level One learners in the learning and skills sector
the formation of learner identities
policy contextualisation of the learning and skills sector
social justice, social class and (in)equality of experience within an educational context
learner voice
inclusive education practice
multi-agency working to support families and children
the implications and impact of co-professional strategies.
