Postgraduate research in RISE
Are you interested in joining a vibrant group of masters students, doctoral students, post-doctoral staff, and professors - all enthusiastic about the study of inclusion and social justice in and through education? RISE would offer you a welcoming environment to pursue your own research on this important topic.
By joining our community as a postgraduate researcher you will enjoy personal supervision from two experienced academic supervisors chosen for their interest in your project. At the same time, you will be working closely among other doctoral students in a shared and well-resourced environment.
The School of Education offers PhD/MPhil available for full-time or part-time study and a Professional Doctorate in Education (EdD) available for part-time study.
Research areas
We welcome potential applicants for doctoral and post-doctoral research in any of the following areas:
- Critical exploration of issues of diversity, inclusion and equity at all levels of the education system, and in life wide learning, and in everyday lives.
- Constructions and representations of educational inclusion and social justice.
- Education for marginalised groups, including but not limited to refugee education, disability education, girls’ education, LGBTQIA education, and the experiences at the intersections of these groups.
- The interaction between education and key social and environmental issues, including but not limited to language, literacy, oracy and creative meaning making practices, migration, class, religion, human rights and the climate crisis.
Please explore the research interests of current RISE members and see if you can find a possible match with your own area of interest. If you join us we promise a lively, supportive and multi-disciplinary environment for your doctoral study.
