It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Carnegie School of Education’s Research Seminar Series. For the series, we invite distinguished scholars to discuss theory, research, policy, and practice relating to education. Time and space are provided and protected to discuss, in a supportive environment, key issues relating to social justice and inclusion in education. We encourage everyone with a passion for education to actively engage with our seminar series.
