This research seminar series is aimed at researchers/academic staff, PGR students, and PGT students who have interests in the fields of comparative and international education, policy studies, and international development.

We seek to create a space for academic exchange and reflection on critical research in these areas, but also the real-life experiences and “messiness” of conducting research across institutional and geographical contexts.

In each session, an invited speaker/researcher will deliver a presentation for a maximum of 30 minutes. A PGR student will then make a connection to the presentation and ask the first question, after which we will open it up to the audience for Q&A.

This research seminar series is organised by GLACIER – the Glasgow Comparative and International Education Research network – with support from the Education and Leadership and Policy RTG of the School of Education.
