We are interested in all aspects of research relating to the subject of education and pedagogy; from the development of theory to its impact in practice. We are particularly interested in knowledge exchange between disciplines that might drive innovation and improve the educational experience and outcomes from the perspective of both staff and students.  

Our Motives and Interests

Education has the potential to be transformative at both an individual and a societal level.
