We are looking forward to welcoming you all to the 24th School of Education PGR Conference: ‘Making Waves - Education Futures’!  We are exploring a theme which reflects the ever-evolving nature of education. From policy to practice, presenters will reflect on the impact these changes have had at all levels of education. The conference will allow presenters and attendees to ‘make waves’ and contribute to the wider educational discourse, as well as provide an overview of the evolution of education through a period of political uncertainty. We have a vibrant research community in the School of Education at the University of Birmingham and this conference aims, as always, to be inclusive of all post-graduate researchers – from those in their first year to those who have just submitted their thesis.  We also invite those with lived experiences and those from other Schools of Education at UK Universities to submit abstracts and join the research community.   

The event will take place in University House, Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham, B15 2TT.  The event is only open to presenters, those affiliated with university of Birmingham or other UK University Schools of Education.  The event is not open to the public. 

Registration is from 9am, with the welcome at 9.55am.  The event will end at 5pm and will be followed by a networking and social for in person attendees until 6pm.
