Turning Evidence into Impact in Personal,

Professsional and Public Contexts
Turning evidence into impact can be taken as how we transform
research-based claims into research based-actions in personal,
professional and public contexts. At IRMSS 2015 researchers will
join with us in interrogating prevailing orthodoxies about rigour
and relevance and how researchers can meaningfully and usefully
take up a range of standpoints as public intellectuals in debates
and controversies concerning pedagogy, learning and community.
Researchers from fields as diverse as teaching and teacher
education, science and technology, mind and matter, language and
literature, theatre, visual media, film, and dance, among many
other areas of study will be present at the summer school.
