Research

LCLL's research activity plays a critical role in informing the national and international knowledge base on leadership in learning. Our research activity focuses around four main areas: social and environmental justice; leadership capacity; systemic change and learning communities. These four related areas of empirical enquiry each have a considerable intellectual base and also encompass a wide range of specialist issues, topics and themes of interest. We are also very interested in the relationship between our research, practice and policy. 
 
The London Education Research Unit (LERU) is a research unit focused on knowledge transfer that is located within LCLL but is a cross institute research unit.
