REAL: About the Centre
Real-world impact
The REAL Centre is a research centre at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge.
The Centre’s research strives to counter injustices in the Global South, recognising these are embedded in colonial legacies perpetuated by the Global North, and the unequal distribution of power in political, social and economic forms. Working across the intersection of these injustices, members’ work centres social justice and equity in and through education through rigorous research and public engagement to inform policy and practice.
REAL Centre equitable partnerships are underpinned by shared values, mutual respect and collaborative commitment through co-creation with academic and non-academic international partners.
A strong track record in education and international development
The REAL Centre is capitalising upon the strong track record of the Faculty of Education, harnessing and augmenting the Faculty’s strengths and creating a critical mass of expertise in education and international development in order to drive forward its agenda. It builds on the important work undertaken previously under the Centre for Commonwealth Education and Centre for Education and International Development (CEID), notably the RECOUP programme.
The Centre’s work is further enhanced through its links with leading researchers and centres across the University’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the University more broadly.
