Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Citizenship, Education and Society (CIRCES)

Description

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Citizenship, Education and Society of Leeds Beckett University conducts innovative research and promotes interdisciplinary approaches to the exploration of the intersection of citizenship, education and society.

The Centre's focus is on education (formal and informal) as a human right and as a reflection of the way that societies view themselves historically and imagine themselves in the future. The Centre is particularly interested in the ways that citizens’ experiences from exercising their right to education influence their citizenship identity, civic attitudes and political socialisation. By fostering interdisciplinary approaches to educational research the Centre aims to engage the research community and the public in systematic explorations of education as a socio-political process, guided by power dynamics and influencing citizens’ self-perceptions, values and socio-political views.
