Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Equitable opportunities that enrich communities
This programme develops evidence-based recommendations and interventions in educational settings to foster social cohesion, citizenship and engagement, respect for diversity, and equitable opportunities for individuals from all backgrounds. Our research investigates the intersections of diverse social groups in various educational settings, examines the effectiveness of current policies and practices in addressing social inequalities, exclusion, and citizenship education issues, and identifies barriers and facilitators to their implementation. It also elucidates the extent to which socio-political changes influence teaching and learning, facilitating cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers, educators, policymakers, and practitioners in the field.
Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure posperity for all.
The research team contributes towards the following SDG(s):
Our research addresses the key issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion within educational contexts, focusing on the ways in which diverse backgrounds shape educational experiences and outcomes. Our findings allow us to offer solutions to cultivate more equitable educational environments. Our work contributes to theory, policy, and practice aimed at fostering a more inclusive and just society, providing evidence-based insights to help researchers, educators, policymakers, and practitioners develop targeted interventions and strategies that advance social justice in education and ensure equitable opportunities for all.
The beneficiaries include students and families from diverse backgrounds, educators, policymakers, and the wider community. By promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion, our research supports a diverse community, particularly those marginalized, ensuring they have access to the resources and support that will help them succeed.
