Promoting social justice

We undertake research that addresses disadvantage, discrimination and oppression within educational contexts, with the aim of creating more equitable systems and experiences for all learners. Our work examines and advances practices that promote social justice, key areas of focus include autism and inclusive education; the impact of racism on educational outcomes and experiences; the lives of LGBTQ+ young people and adults; participation and student experience in higher education; and critical explorations of how youth and disability are understood and constructed. Through close collaboration with partners and communities, we generate robust evidence that informs policy, strengthens practice and drives meaningful change.
