Education for Social Justice and Inclusion
Educational inequity is shaped by intersecting disadvantages and reinforced by colonialism, whiteness, and heteronormativity.
Our research addresses these through interdisciplinary collaborations that advance curriculum, pedagogy, and teacher development grounded in justice, democracy, and decolonisation. We work with teachers as partners in transformation, equipping them to challenge poverty, exclusion, and inequality. Spanning early childhood to post-secondary education, we prioritise the voices of children and youth, especially in high-poverty, marginalised communities.
Using participatory and arts-based methods and informed by decolonial, feminist, queer, and southern perspectives, we reimagine education to reflect diverse lived experiences and dismantle systemic inequities.
