We are recruting a SIG Convenor for the English in Education SIG to  help lead the SIG over the next 3 years. 

If multiple expressions of interest are received an election may be run.

The English in Education SIG is a forum for researchers to investigate what is a broad and complex area of knowledge: our starting point is the school subject of English, but we embrace many aspects of the subject as it exists in all phases of education, and we include all elements of initial teacher training concerned with English teachers. English includes the four language modes, reading, writing, speaking and listening which can be addressed separately but can also be treated as elements of the holistic subject; it embraces literacy but literacy of an emancipatory and critical kind.

By agreeing to assume a position of SIG convenor, individuals are committing to fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations that go with that role. SIG Convenors are expected to exercise their own judgment to meet the requirements listed in ½¿É«µ¼º½ guidance and to seek further advice from the ½¿É«µ¼º½ Office if in any doubt on any of these matters. If any procedures are not followed then ½¿É«µ¼º½ reserves the right to take whatever action may be necessary to protect ½¿É«µ¼º½â€™s legal, financial and reputational position.

If multiple expressions of interest are received an election may be run.

This role is intended to serve a 3 year term, finishing 31st December 2029

The deadline is 29th May 2026

As part of our wider commitment to greater equality and diversity at all levels of the organisation, we continue to seek increased representation from members with a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) background. In acknowledging the structural inequalities and unjust power imbalances that affect our members, we wish to be proactive in addressing this within our own structures.
