Examples of current and recent research projects include the following.

• Germ’s Journey (led by Professors Sarah Younie and Katie Laird, with Dr Sapphire Crosby) exists to create better health through infection-prevention education. It is essential, as globally over five million children under five- years-old died in 2021. Globally, the programme is driven by collaborating closely with local teachers and health care workers: who have co-created resources in 10 languages. To date 17,500 resources (books and hand-hygiene boxes containing products and activity sheets) have been distributed across three continents in schools, community centres and hospitals. For more information, see the . .
• International research on digital rehabilitation in prisons commissioned by United Nations. This has led to practice and policy development across many jurisdictions including the global South. This includes training for prison staff. This trajectory of work is also contributing to policy and practice recommendations for prisons (Dr Vic Knight as lead).
• British Educational Research Association, Small Grants Fund, Teaching to Transform the Curriculum: Building Frameworks for Racial Literacy (T2TC), 2024-25 [£4,995] (led by Professor Richard Hall, with Drs Camille London-Miyo and Lucy Ansley, and Natasha Boyce).
• The Aziz Foundation/草榴视频, Muslim Friendly Universities Audit, 2024 [£20,523] (led by Professor Richard Hall, with Drs Lucy Ansley and Lamia Nemouchi, and Sumeya Loonat).
• QAA-funded, Membership Collaborative Enhancement Partnership project, Mapping staff support to enhance the experiences of international students, with Manchester Metropolitan University, and the universities of Manchester and Wolverhampton, 2025 [£10,000] (led by Sumeya Loonat, with Professor Richard Hall and Dr Hardeep Basra).
• GCRF-funded Networking Grants scheme, Realising Education’s Promise for Children Refugees from Syria: Assessment of Education Provision and Learning Environments in Iraq, with Erbil University, 2022-23 [£24,995] (with Professor Richard Hall as co-investigator).
• Academy of Finland, University Democracy, Universities as Laboratories of Meaningful Democracy, and the Crisis of Representative Democracy, with Tampere University, 2023-24 (with Professor Richard Hall as project advisor).
• Food resilience in the City of Leicester, through an empirical study of the emergency food network, in collaboration with the City Council and others. This has led to a policy brief, which has fed into the City’s (Professor Jonathan Davies).
• With a consortium funded by the ESRC, investigating the optimal funding allocation mechanisms for , and for under the new Labour Government (Professor Jonathan Davies).
• An Advance HE Good Practice Grant supported re-development of an Education SEND module, through co-production with students and practitioners who are disabled, neurodivergent and/or have special educational needs (Dr Rosi Smith and Emma Wright).

There is a range of internally-funded project work being undertaken, including the following.

• 草榴视频-funded, Academic Innovation Project, , 2023-24 [£4,500] (led by Professor Richard Hall, with Dr Lucy Ansley, and also Yusraa Maryam).

Projects are being developed, or have been submitted, in relation to the following.

• A longitudinal, mixed-methods project, "Negotiating Inclusive Practices: Exploring Graduates’ Knowledge, Values and Inclusive Practices as they Transition into Teaching", for which we submitted an external funding application to The Spencer Foundation, February 2025.
• An Independent Social Research Foundation fellowship, investigating how intercultural education and communication are understood by scholars working in different epistemic contexts (Global North and Global South/Arab Islamic), using methods that create new dialogic spaces to reconceptualise the intercultural for epistemic justice.
• Locally-engaged higher education, investigating local universities’ contribution to local development, in partnership with the Cuban ministry of higher education. This proposed project also aims to uncover transferability to civic universities in global North contexts.
• Participatory leadership structures and cocreating sensory rooms and recreational spaces, in partnership with the Cuban learning disability organisation ACPDI, Cuban universities in Holguin and Granma, Sheffield Hallam University, Liverpool John Moores University and Attenborough Arts in Leicester.
• A substantial ESRC bid on urban resilience planning and social justice is in planning, which would undertake an international/comparative policy lifecycle analysis of how planning and strategy translates into policy and action.
• Multilingualism and multilinguistic identities in higher education.
• Developing innovation in relation to teacher voice.

Important research network engagements include the following.

• (Mapping Education Specialist knowHow) is an online knowledge exchange platform that provides research summaries, enabling teachers worldwide to resolve the problem of access to research knowledge with a focus on UN Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education (led by Professor Sarah Younie).
