Social and Educational Participation and Engagement Research Network
A research centre dedicated to inclusivity
We bring together academics who deal with the concepts of participation and engagement in their research, regardless of field.
Established in 2014, we are a network of dedicated researchers who share a common interest in participation and engagement throughout education. In particular, we examine issues of social inclusion for individuals and groups that experience marginalisation, disadvantages and exclusion, with a focus on disability.
We advance research and understanding in the field by:
- establishing and enhancing links within the Sydney School of Education and Social Work, other University faculties, research centres and educational institutions
- strengthening the network's research agenda within school and network partners
- promoting a broader understanding of social and educational participation through publications and collaboration with education and public sectors
- providing a forum for members – including honours students and higher degree research students – to present and discuss their work with colleagues.
