The Department has a multi-disciplinary focus, which includes Philosophy of Education, Sociology and History of Education, Education Leadership and Management, and Education Policy. In line with the University\u2019s commitment as a research-intensive institution, we are a research-led department. The department\u2019s work and focus are framed in a postcolonial, democratic culture of critical deliberation, focused on being responsive to the myriad complexities and questions which necessarily accompany a pluralist society.<\/p>\n
