Welcome to CRI Chronicles!
CRI in the Education School at the University of Southampton is committed to internationally significant research towards the inclusion of children, adults, families, and practitioners in education. We work with a strong network of collaborators in research that addresses inclusion and engages with the needs of participants and research users. CRI members work with teachers, young people, disabled and other marginalised groups to carry out the research.

For more information about People, Projects and Publications, take a look at our official university page.
