The Faculty's Research Groups bring together staff and research students with cognate research interests in particular areas of education, to develop research projects, joint activities and share expertise. As well as meeting more informally, many of the research groups organise Open Seminar series.
Each research group details its activities and members, and indicates its convenor(s). Together, the research groups signify the main areas of educational research in which the Faculty is currently active. You can alternatively search for topics and individuals via our dedicated Research Areas.
