Join us for the Healthy Development Adelaide (HDA) forum on Reframing Challenges to Child Development: Inclusion, Participation and Transformation.

This forum is held in conjunction with our partner organisation Flinders ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog and will be held on Thursday 7 March, 5.30-7.30pm at Napier G04 lecture theatre, Napier building, Ground floor, ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog of Adelaide, North Terrace,

This international presentation will consider some of the challenges experienced by children, teachers and parents in the UK in relation to their educational and wider experiences, and will present some of the work that Professor Clare Wood and colleagues are undertaking to address these challenges. Crucially, this presentation will reflect on how we approach research for and with key communities, and the methodological changes that are required for a commitment to transformation.

OUR SPEAKER

Professor Clare Wood, Director, Centre for Research in Language, Education and Developmental Inequalities, Nottingham Trent ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog, Nottingham, England.
