ERSC provides a forum for the critical discussion of education from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, and for the dissemination of current research to a broad, cross-disciplinary audience of scholars, researchers and practitioners in the field of education. The journal is committed to educational research drawing on approaches which have a strong focus on social change in the communities which education serves. The journal favours research articles and conceptual papers which draw on participatory and emancipatory paradigms and methodologies in engaging communities in research towards social change.
