We are particularly interested in receiving proposals that align with one of our key research themes: Teacher Education and Professional Learning; Transformative Education; Philosophy, Values, Ethics and Worldviews; Early Years Education, Families and Communities; and Inequalities, Health and Wellbeing. We are also particularly keen to receive proposals which are interdisciplinary in nature, and/or which have an applied focus to ensure our work has a positive societal impact nationally and internationally.

All postgraduate researchers (PGRs) are registered in the University’s Graduate School and housed in the faculty or department that is most appropriate for the project on which they are working. PGRs working on education projects are typically housed in the Faculty of Education.
