A research-led approach to Teacher Education for Diversity

The work of the Chair is supported by a strong transcontinental community of thinkers and researchers that connects different parts of the world and seeks to:

• promote socially just pedagogies in education
• draw global attention to scholarly work on education
• produce, discover and curate knowledge that is globally relevant and locally responsive
• lead research initiatives that are grounded in the concerns of educational practice in a context characterised by inequality and where the decolonial project is incomplete.

Research activities of the Chair Forum focus on five themes:

The UNESCO Chair in Teacher Education for Development and Diversity  connects a global network of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in teacher education. Dialogue opportunities and knowledge dissemination are crucial to this community as a way for teacher education to promote just and sustainable educational futures.

Our scholarly work through publications aim to contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 4, ‘inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’.

Publications are grouped into five broad themes.
