EERJ, EERJ Roundtable
Round Table organised by the European Educational Research Journal
Contribution
A discussion of new forms of relations and institutions in which education research is or should be operating in contemporary Europe
The contexts of education research across Europe are changing, partly as a consequence of institutional restructuring or mergers, new knowledge institutes and research funding programmes.
Sub disciplinarity, inter-disciplinarity and trans-disciplinarity seem to be emerging as offering diverse futures for education research contexts. The reduction of isolated disciplinary power has been growing in different ways in EU policy for several years and a focus on inter-disciplinarity [furthering expertise through common developments] and trans-disciplinarity [leading to radical epistemological rethinking] is aimed at ‘overcoming traditional disciplinary clustering’ [European Research Council].
In what ways will education research be produced in the future in Europe?
