Current News
The IES Conference on 25th April - ‘Examining theory and practice in inclusive education' - also saw the launch of a major new research group specialising in Psychology of Education. The group brings together researchers, students and practitioners from a broad range of strands within the discipline. Its members express their overarching aim as ‘translating psychological theories and research into policy and practice’. In particular, its specialisms include Special Educational Needs, Aggression Studies, Educational Guidance and Counseling, Prejudice and Self-Esteem. These areas will form a focus for research projects, publications and events over the coming years.
The core team is made up of Dr Conor McGuckin and Dr Stephen Minton and presently operates from within our Inclusion in Education and Society Research Grouping led by Dr Michael Shevlin.
