The Education Futures Research Cluster is in the School of Education, Childhood, Youth and Sport. Cluster researchers investigate teaching and learning to understand and shape more equitable, innovative, and future-oriented learning opportunities in the 21st century. Our work, which explores the interplay between theory and practice, contributes to knowledge expansion and seeks to impact the unfolding educational agenda at a systemic level, locally, nationally, and internationally.
We take a broadly social approach to teaching and learning and use a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, including, for example, sociocultural theory, activity theory, ethnography, historical analysis, discourse analysis and multimodal analysis. These approaches explore teaching and learning and learners’ identities in formal and informal contexts in homes, nurseries, primary and secondary schools, higher education and work-based settings.
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent) and an MA or research methods training at MA level (or equivalent). If you are not a UK citizen, you may need to prove your knowledge of English.
