Ethnicity and Education

Research and analysis of Race and Ethnicity - and the impact and implications it has for educational policy, provision and outcomes - are major activities of IPSE’s work. Our widely-acknowledged experience and expertise in this area is firmly based in the substantial history of the University’s provision in the area. IPSE has developed an substantial expertise across a broad range of topics associated with race/ethnicity and education policy, based on our commitment to ensuring social justice and inclusion for all, and a determination to support antiracism and counter xenophobia.

Our areas of interest and expertise include:

• race/ethnicity, gender, and class
• racism, equal opportunities and educational policy
• ensuring issues of ethnicity and race are addressed in the education of future teachers
• the recruitment of teachers from minority ethnic groups
