Professor Sharon Gewirtz - Welcome to ECS research

Welcome to the Department of Education & Professional Studies, where leading-edge research informs our teaching. The Department of Education and Professional Studies (DEPS) has been at the forefront of teacher education and educational research for over forty years. Today it is renowned for its teaching and research expertise in science and mathematics education; language, culture and communication; and public policy. We have a proud history of contributing to public policy debates and the concerns of professional communities of practice across multiple sectors, both nationally and internationally, and we provide programmes of study that help professionals critically analyse, research and effectively respond to changes in thinking and policy in their fields. DEPS is a warm and friendly department in which students are supported to become active participants in a dynamic community of learners. Mission The Department’s mission is to work for the public good through research and teaching focused on education in its broadest sense - teaching and learning in formal and informal contexts; personal growth and development; and the enhancement of social, civic and professional capability and engagement. This diverse agenda incorporates questions about culture, communication, cognition, authority, power, social justice and ethics in educational and other professional and social contexts, including, for example, health and social care and the cultural sector. Scholarship in the Department is interdisciplinary; it is located within the humanities and social sciences and it draws upon a wide range of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives.
