Information for prospective doctoral research student supervisions

Professor Stephen Gorard is interested in working with doctoral researchers in a wide range of areas relating to equity and effectiveness in lifelong education - such as school intake stratification, attainment, school effects, school improvement, wider school outcomes, patterns of post-compulsory participation, widening participation, and education and social justice more generally. Stephen is also keen on work intended to enhance the quality of education research, including study design, design-based research, mixing large existing datasets with other forms of data, randomised controlled trials, and developing robust alternatives to RCTs.
