Transdisciplinarity in Education Research

IDEAS brings together three linked sessions that trace a single arc: how transdisciplinary inquiry is defined and operationalised, how critical and decolonial frameworks illuminate structural inequality in education, and how ethics of care and justice can be integrated into research practice. Each session is free, held online, and open to everyone engaged with questions of educational justice.
