Globalisation, Education and Social Inclusion Faculty Research Group

Being connected

Our research focuses on the complex links between education, globalization and socio-cultural inclusion and exclusion.  It identifies the current identities and inequalities that are associated with the global flows of people, ideas, images and imaginations and the implications for traditional and non-traditional educational forms and foci.  We investigate and explore diverse contemporary approaches to education that try to address such current expressions of identity and try to confront such inequalities.  Our aim is to inform various teaching and learning practices so that they can best respond to the pressing issues that arise.
