EnPOWER, Women in Leadership event

CSPACE (Centre for the Study of Practice And Culture in Education) at Birmingham City University brings together a community of researchers, practitioners, students, young people and service users from a range of disciplines and contexts to explore practice and culture across a wide spectrum of education settings. Our priority is to enable the communities we work with to become research engaged, knowledge producing, self-transforming and sustainable. We are committed to collaborative approaches to research that blur traditional boundaries between researchers and ‘the researched’. We foster collaborative and participatory projects. Our approach is most definitely ‘research with’ rather than research ‘on’.For more information about the research centre, visit:https://www.bcu.ac.uk/research/-centres-of-excellence/centre-for-research-in-education
