The Centre for Comparative and International Research in Education (CIRE) brings together researchers, who address issues of social, environmental, and epistemic justice in education theory, policy and practice with a comparative sensibility to global-local dynamics and are a multidisciplinary group using a range of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches in comparative research. This includes expertise in sociology, history, social psychology, post-colonial and decolonial theory and collaborative, arts-based inquiry.

CIRE collaborated with graphic designer Cyprain Arinze Nwako earlier in 2021 to create a new logo. The Rudbeckia hirta, more commonly known as the "black-eyed susan" flower, used as the sole imagery in the new logo, represents justice and the CIRE team's focus on issues of social, environmental & epistemic justice in education. Since the unveiling of their new logo, the CIRE directors have been working with the School of Education Communications and Marketing team to reshape and update the CIRE web pages, so we are pleased to formally re-launch that here.

Please have a look at the new pages that include significant sections that focus on the research happening at CIRE, the many varied publications and the work of the UNESCO chair as well as featured doctoral projects which will be routinely updated to showcase the cutting-edge doctoral work that is undertaken at CIRE.
