Education and Social Research Institute
Aiming to shape the future of educational and social research, leading debate and providing cutting-edge theory and methodology.
Components
The Education and Social Research Institute (ESRI) is an inclusive and radical research space producing world-leading research in both local and global contexts.
Our approach utilises methods that challenge understandings of what research and education could, and should, be. This creates a forward-thinking, collaborative and unconventional environment in which to co-produce quality research.
We are leading the debate on the nature and future of education, contributing to the development of applied social research and supporting our community partners, practitioners and professionals in researching their own practice.
Our researchers work in innovative ways to support young people and to develop ways of working in schools and communities to create transformational change.
