Research in the School of Education makes a significant difference by contributing to positive change locally, nationally, and globally and is internationally esteemed for the high quality of its rigour and originality.
 

The research culture of the School of Education nurtures our ambition to improve educational experiences, further social justice, strengthen sustainability, and deepen democracy.

We research with integrity to develop innovative approaches to key educational issues that matter.

We collaborate with our diverse range of partners including teachers and community organisers in Nottingham through to national governments and international policy bodies.  

Our work addresses many UN sustainable development goals including:

  • developing inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning (SDG4)
  • empowering women and girls (SDG5)
  • reducing inequalities (SDG 10)
  • developing climate education (SDG 13)
  • forming inclusive educational institutions (SFG16)
