Our research focus
Research in GIER exists to ensure that the benefits that can flow from any educational or learning opportunity are genuinely available to the diverse members of our community. By identifying and removing barriers we create genuinely inclusive and positive environments that enable all people to thrive. We work closely with partners in schools, community organisations, workplaces, and the wider community to ensure our research genuinely responds to urgent and pressing demands—maximising our relevance and our impact. This work is organised around five priority areas each with national and international significance. Individually and in combination, the research projects linked to these priorities address urgent issues relating to the wellbeing of diverse learners, and diverse educators, living, learning, and working in diverse contexts.
