Southampton professor becomes BERA’s magazine editor

Southampton Education School’s Professor Kalwant Bhopal has taken on the role of the Editor of the British Educational Research Association (BERA) Research Intelligence magazine. The magazine is distributed to all BERA members three times a year.

Kalwant said: “I am delighted to be taking on the role of editor for BERA’s Research Intelligence. I am particularly interested in using RI - unashamedly so - to champion issues that I think matter in education that need to be addressed - those of inclusion, equity and social justice. In a climate in which political discourse focuses on blaming and marginalising 'the other', there is an urgent need for us as educators to challenge, disrupt and dismantle such thinking.

 

“I look forward to exploring how education can be used as a vehicle for change in our quest for a socially just society.”
