In this cluster, we largely focus on educational equality, inclusion and social justice, encompassing health, social mobility, and the role of class, ethnicity, and gender in educational experiences and outcomes. We work with national and international organisations that promote opportunity and justice for those with restricted access to education. Our work encompasses understanding the experiences of students from underrepresented groups, including those from the LGBTQ+ community, Black and racially minoritised students and students from areas of high deprivation. Interests range from early years to the lifelong learning of adults. Individual subject areas, such as Mathematics, English, History and Science are also researched by several members of the group, with success in these subjects making important contributions to improved life chances.
