Research
Our research programme has been developed to formulate a ‘better set of questions’, re-framing policy problems within a wider context of building back better.
We will achieve this through maintaining and extending our tradition for comparative research in the UK and internationally. We regard this as essential to any meaningful analysis.
Our focus is in four main areas: Sustainability through our ‘E&T for the Climate’ theme; issues of ‘Social and Epistemic Justice’ across a range of skills, education and research systems; the ‘Political Skills Economy’ and debates around employability and outcomes; and ‘Tertiary E&T Landscapes’ across a wide range of global contexts.
