CERII is the home of education research at ARU. We are committed to developing research on education, identities and inequalities which contributes to knowledge formation and makes a difference to people’s lives and society at large.
Our activities are consistently underpinned by a dual concern for inclusion and excellence, yet are also diverse in terms of epistemological, theoretical and empirical foci. The centre brings together our expertise in a range of topics related to identities and inequalities in education and work contexts throughout the life course.
The most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) identified three areas of excellence: gender, sexuality and care-based identities; sustainability in education; and curriculum research.
The aims of CERII are to:

Prof Marie-Pierre Moreau is Professor in Education and Education Research Lead in the School of Education at ARU. A sociologist by training, her interests are located at the nexus of education, work and inequalities.
Her current research concentrates in two key areas: teachers' identities and careers, with specific reference to gender and the 'feminisation thesis’, and the relationship between care and academic work, with specific reference to the way students and academic staff with caring responsibilities are positioned in academic discourses.
She is the author or co-author of over 100 publications, including two monographs and two edited volumes. She is the editor of the Bloomsbury Gender and Education book series (with Prof. Penny Jane Burke, Newcastle, Australia and Prof. Nancy Niemi, Yale, USA). In 2014, she was appointed as an expert to the European Commission to provide advice on its policies and programmes in the fields of research, gender equality and education.
Dr Samson Maekele Tsegay is a Research Fellow at ARU. He was a program coordinator in the University of Asmara and the National Board for Higher Education in Eritrea for about ten years. Furthermore, he worked as a Visiting Lecturer at Beijing Normal University and University of Roehampton.
He is author or co-author of many book chapters and articles in peer-reviewed journals. His research interests focus on comparative education, critical pedagogy, global citizenship education, migration and education, and internationalisation of higher education.
Lucie Wheeler is a Research Assistant and PhD candidate in the School of Education at ARU. She has experience and qualifications in child development and early years education with specialist areas of research in home education/homeschooling, alternative education/provision and neurodiversity.
Prior to working in research, Lucie spent 14 years in various educational settings such as primary and special schools, colleges, nurseries and private pre-school provisions working both as a practitioner and in leadership roles.
Dr Alex Moseley is Head of Anglia Learning and Teaching. He leads the activities of Anglia Learning and Teaching, which are driven by our Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy.
Alex Thorpe is a curator and educator interested in the potential of the arts for social change. She brings together artists with people to generate collective actions in response to pressing social issues. Currently Education Curator at the Serpentine Galleries, she leads on collaborative programmes with children, young people and families, producing toolkits to share research more widely.
Alex was co-curator of Rights to the City? an international symposium of artists, organisations and practitioners that seeks to explore the place of social and political activity in art making and is currently co-editing a book reflecting on five years of Serpentine community-based projects. Between 2007 and 2014 Alex worked at Manchester Art Gallery developing programmes and spaces with children and families.
Dr Anna Wanka is a sociologist and critical gerontologist interested in un/doing difference and the material-discursive construction of age. Her areas of expertise comprise life course transitions/retirement and the re/production of intersectional social inequalities across the life course, ageing and technologies, age-friendly cities and communities, ageing migrants, and lifelong learning. She has expertise in both qualitative and quantitative methods and has developed reflexive approaches to mixed-methods research.
Since 2022 she has been leader of the research group on “Linking Ages – The Socio-Material Practices of Un/Doing Age across the Life-Course” at Goethe University Frankfurt a.M., Germany.
Dr Matt Lumb is Associate Director of the Centre of Excellence for Equity in Higher Education (CEEHE) at the University of Newcastle, Australia. His work focuses on co-developing critical, praxis-based spaces that hold the possibility of challenging hegemonic methodologies constructing policies, practices and evaluative projects of equity and widening participation in higher education.
Matt has been involved in projects of equity research and practice in Higher Education for about ten years, coming to the work from a background in community development and high school teaching. His PhD explored the unintended consequences of a university outreach program he helped to conduct, including the pressure to produce evidence of impact and the worrying ways in which his own white, male, middle class values were shaping evaluative processes.

Our research activity concentrates in three domains in which we have significant expertise: identities and equities in education settings; education and environmental justice; and curriculum making and social justice.
These domains are closely aligned with the research priority areas identified in ARU’s Research and Innovation Strategy 2022-27 (PDF).
Our research activity under this theme draws from a nuanced understanding of curriculum as social and relational phenomena and explores curriculum making theories/practices in different subjects, with specific consideration for their implications for social justice.
Building upon recent curriculum theoretical typology (e.g., Priestley et al., 2021), we acknowledge three important questions in our curriculum making research activities: (1) who make the curriculum (e.g., teachers, curriculum experts, academics, etc.); (2) where it is made (e.g., schools, classroom, local area); and (3) what practices are involved in the making of a curriculum (e.g., writing a curriculum policy document, content selection, support offered to teachers).
Our work in this group captures a range of topics about curriculum making:
For queries about this theme, contact Dr Sinem Hizli-Alkan at [email protected]
Our research in this area encompasses a broad range of educational inequalities in education and work settings, from early years to higher education and throughout the lifecycle. This strand of our work is concerned with two specific areas:
Gender, sexuality and care-based identities: this stream explores how groups minoritised because of their gender, sexual or care-based identities navigate care-free, heterosexist norms in a range of contexts, including as students and workers.
Examples of work in this area include LGBT teachers negotiating heteronormative school cultures, gender issues in the teaching profession, HE students and academics with caring responsibilities, and ancillary workers in HE.
This strand of our work is funded through a broad range of national and international research grants.
Ethnicity and migration: this stream explores issues of inclusion and exclusion related to minority ethnic groups and migrants, in a broad of range of learning, work and community organisations.
Recent work in this area considers, for example, the experiences of minority ethnic teachers in British schools and gender-based violence in the UK Eritrean community.
We maintain an active presence in this field through a broad range of publications and impact activities. We contributed two impact case studies to REF 2021, which reflects our deep commitment to engaging with practitioners, policymakers and the wider public.
Our work in this area has attracted multiple awards and been funded by a broad range of funders including the European Commission, the British Academy, Advance HE, the SRHE, various local authorities, and a range of national and international charities such as the Nuffield Foundation and the Volkswagen Foundation.
Members of this stream are active in shaping the field through our editorship of the Access: Critical explorations of equity issues in higher education journal (run jointly with the University of Newcastle, Australia), lead editorship of the Bloomsbury Gender and Education book series, and editorial board membership of a range of relevant, established journals.
The aim of this theme, led by Dr Elsa Lee, is to establish a space in the School of Education and beyond where questions of social and epistemological justice can be researched and taught.
As such, the theme seeks to reveal differential social impacts of environmental degradation, and the rub between these impacts and education. For example, in what ways do gender, race, class and environmental degradation intersect, and what are the relationships between these intersections and education? How might an inclusive approach affect this relationship?
Existing activity in this area includes our involvement with the Ruskin Modules (e.g. Social Justice in Education, and Climate Justice), and our exemplary theme on wellbeing, arts and environmental sustainability education for the Primary Education Studies degree.
We also have a number of Vice Chancellor's PhD Scholarship funded doctoral students working on questions linked to environmental justice in education.
In terms of research and communication, our Sustainable Futures research theme funded initiatives, such as EEJ Reading and Research Collective (EEJ RRC) and the Conservation Justice Education project, exemplify our intentions to become global leaders in research in this field.
EEJ RRC in particular is establishing ARU as a key player in this space internationally by drawing in participants from across the UK, Europe, South America and South Africa, and through its innovative relationship with a local community-based artist.
Elsa Lee is link convenor for the European Educational Research Association (EERA)’s conference network 30 Convenors, which links ARU to over 350 researchers globally, creating exciting potential for research and publication collaborations, including a special issue collection on ESE in Europe for the Environmental Education Research Journal that is currently in development.
For queries about this theme, contact Dr Elsa Lee at [email protected]
In 2019, we launched the Policy Briefing paper series to provide specific guidelines and recommendations to policymakers in our areas of expertise. Each paper is informed by our recent research and designed in consultation with the relevant stakeholders.
CERII welcomes applications from prospective doctoral students who are interested in developing research on education, identities and inequalities through our PhD or EdD route.
Particular areas of expertise within CERII include: gender, sexuality and care in education; sustainability in education; early childhood pedagogies and practice; critical pedagogies in education; and race, ethnicity and migration in education.
Contact [email protected] (EdD route) or [email protected] (PhD route) for more information.
We offer a stimulating and inclusive programme of research activities. Our activities include:
