About the Public Services Theme

At the University of Derby, our research in the Public Services theme is interdisciplinary and has impacted on theory, policy and practice in the fields of education, psychology, wellbeing, therapeutics, nursing, health, social care, criminal justice and policing.

Established in 1998, iCeGS is the leading international research centre in the field of career and career guidance. Its research addresses how people develop their careers in complex modern societies and what kinds of interventions and approaches can be used to enable people to build successful careers and find their way to the good life.

  • Race equality and education

The post holder with the role of ECA in Public Services (Race Equality and Education) will work with Professor Charlotte Chadderton. You will be a member of the Race and Education Research Cluster, whose work aims to develop a theorised and practice-based understanding of the role of race in education, and ultimately to challenge race inequality in education in all its forms. The work of this cluster focuses on education at all levels, both formal and informal. The Race and Education Research Cluster is a respectful space for research, knowledge exchange, teaching and participation in critical and reflexive discussions about race and racial inequalities in education.
