Upcoming event
We are delighted to launch a new monthly online reading group on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) education. This series is designed to bring together researchers, practitioners, and doctoral students from across the UK and internationally to engage in critical discussion of influential academic work that is shaping thinking in STEAM education research.
Each month, an educational researcher will select a published paper (circulated in advance) that has had a significant impact on their scholarly journey. They will introduce the text, explain its importance, and reflect on how it has informed their research, teaching, or practice. Participants will then be invited into a facilitated discussion where they can debate the paper’s ideas, examine its implications for educational policy and practice, and explore its relevance across different contexts and disciplines.
