About us

CEEN is comprised of core and associate members that include academic staff based in the Graduate School of Education (GSE), doctoral students and a number of national and international affiliates. Current members already collaborate on a number of national and international research funded projects

Our aim is to grow and support an eclectic, open and flexible network of researchers and thinkers who mutually inspire each other. Underpinning our multiple perspectives is the idea of ‘plurilogicality’, which challenges dominant linear, ‘monological’ understandings conducted exclusively within one point of view or frame of reference. This stance positions much of our research as inter-disciplinary.

Interested parties (including students and staff from within and outside of the University of Exeter and from any discipline) are welcome to join CEEN. Please contact Dr Kerry Chappell or Dr Deborah Osberg for further details.
