Study Groups | DSA Ireland

The Education Study Group brings together both academic and NGO interests to address education issues in the context of international development.

The group encourages collaborative projects between researchers in Ireland as well as on a Global North-South basis as well as developing a dialogue with practitioners.

Special seminars are arranged from time to time and the DSA Ireland Annual Conference includes sessions devoted to education research reports.

This study group is co-convened by Gerard McCann and David Martyn. If you have an idea you wish to share, or are interested in joining the Study Group, please email Gerard and David at education@dsaireland.org.
