Event series
BERA Presidential Seminar Series provides compelling research reviews offering a state-of-the-art position on topics that are of interest to researchers, practitioners, policy makers and wider society.
Each Presidential Seminar Series results in a clear statement of the evidence in the field and implications for educational policy and practice. It is hoped that the statements will be a key reference point over several years, subject to periodic review and updating. The seminar series will also be used to promote engagement and dialogue across as many stakeholders as possible.
Each seminar series involves a range of speakers and contributors with knowledge about the topic that is the focus for the Seminar.
Contributors will also bring pressing questions for consideration, from policy, practice and research perspectives. Emphasis is given to topics that are recurrent concerns in education, and that are directly relevant to policy-makers, practitioners and research communities.
Presidential seminar series themes will focus on:
