CREET is one of the leading education research units in the UK. It is an internationally respected centre of excellence, pursuing innovative and rigorous research that influences policy and practice. CREET research is multidisciplinary and is united by:

  • a focus on learning through diverse media in a wide range of social, cultural and disciplinary settings;
     
  • a radical, challenging approach to established orthodoxies in policy, pedagogy, theory and research methods;
     
  • a major thread of socio-cultural theorising with researchers working across the four broad themes.
