Call for Convenor: Educational Research and Educational Policy-Making SIG

We are recruiting a SIG Convenor for the Â鶹ÒùÔº Educational Research and Educational Policy-Making SIG to help lead the SIG over the next 3 years. 

Role & responsibilities of SIG Convenors:

  • Plan & oversee SIG activities, potentially delivering an annual programme of activity
  • Engage members and encourage participation
  • Represent SIG members (not personal views)
  • Ensure compliance with Â鶹ÒùÔº policies
  • Work with Â鶹ÒùÔº staff for support and delivery.

This SIG provides a space for Â鶹ÒùÔº members interested in the relationship between research and policy in education. Rather than critiquing policies, the SIG is particularly interested in the procedures involved in making policies, and the role played by research. The SIG recognises that policies are not only made in government departments, but in schools and a wide range of education institutions.

Research interests 

  • The relationship between research and policy
  • The use of evidence in policy production
  • How policies get produced
  • Policy advice mechanisms
  • What constitutes ‘expertise’
  • The role of all education stakeholders in the policy process

 

You must be a fully paid up Â鶹ÒùÔº member to apply and serve as a convenor

As part of our wider commitment to greater equality and diversity at all levels of the organisation, we continue to seek increased representation from members with a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) background. In acknowledging the structural inequalities and unjust power imbalances that affect our members, we wish to be proactive in addressing this within our own structures.

If you require this application in a different format for accessibility reasons, please contact [email protected]
