The Social Justice and Inclusion Thematic Hub connects researchers from across disciplines to understand and address issues of inequality and injustice in educational contexts, broadly understood. Our research encompasses a diverse range of topics underpinned by values of equity, respect for human dignity and diversity. It is multidisciplinary, uses a range of theoretical and methodological approaches, and informs policy and practice across different contexts. We aim to create a strong research community where we share knowledge, identify new opportunities for collaboration, help members develop research capacity and provide peer support for research staff and PGR students.
