Summer school "Inclusive approaches to educational research " aims at providing opportunities for emerging and early career researchers to share and discuss their research ideas, plans or proposals in small groups and to receive feedback from a group of international researchers who will share their expertise and experiences on a wide range of educational and social issues. 

Participants will have the opportunity to attend keynote lectures which will provide diverse perspectives on the meaning and role of inclusive approaches to educational research. Moreover, through interactive workshops and hands-on activities, the participants will develop capacities for employing inclusive research approaches at different stages of research. 

During the summer school we would like to raise some questions that shape our understanding of research, but also to build a community of PhD students and early career researchers interested in searching for answers that could help us make educational research more inclusive.

Inclusive approaches to educational research aim to legitimize the expertise and perspectives that emerge from situated knowledge and lived experience, particularly of those who have been historically marginalized, by creating spaces where diverse voices can be heard. Authentic participation in research encourages participants to critically reflect on their position, map the gap between what is and what could be, and take an active role in bridging that gap. The summer school will be an opportunity to discuss the potential of educational research to enable participants who frequently experience marginalisation to positively impact upon their own lives and their communities.
