Education Studies News and Events

The Centre for Education Studies is pleased to announce that Dr Jacqueline Dynes, Senior Teaching Fellow, has been awarded an Warwick ESRC Impact Accelaration Account grant to enable her to undertake a secondment in the Department for Education.

This award scheme, in association with the Whitehall and Industry Group, was set up to enable the creation of productive, long-term partnerships between academics and representatives from external organisations through secondments. These secondments aim to create valuable opportunities for academics and practitioners to share expertise and challenges, to disseminate research of direct relevance to a particular context and develop new insights and relationships from which new collaborative research, knowledge exchange and impact generating activity can be realised.

Jacqueline will use the secondment to deepen her understanding of the policy creation process in the Department for Education, as well as the political environment in which recommendations and decisions are made. This daily experience of the workings of government will allow Jacqueline to extend her research as well as providing an opportunity for her to develop practical, evidenced based proposals for policy development.

You are warmly invited to an evening of provocations and discussion about Coventry, a city that is celebrating, reimagining and investing in its cultural identity by bidding for the UK’s Capital of Culture 2021.

A major aspiration of Coventry’s bid is ‘place-making’, which aims to create spaces of belonging and engagement for its residents and visitors. This event will reflect on and question the multiple and diverse ways that communities participate in ‘place-making’ in urban settings. An international panel will share details of current collaborations between academic researchers, local artists and cultural organisations. These partnerships aim to foster meaningful connections between Coventry’s diverse communities, creating new ways of experiencing and participating in the city’s urban landscapes.
