IRNIE and University of Canberra Learning Communities Research Area (LCRA)

The University of Canberra’s Learning Communities Research Area (LCRA) has been identified as an area of emerging research strength at the University of Canberra and has secured internal funding to build its research capacity.

LCRA is part of the international team that secured a twelve month seeding grant of CDN$24,838 from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) for the project, Building an International Research Network in Imagination and Education (IRNIE). Dr. Thomas W. Nielsen and Professor Noel Gough (now at La Trobe University), representing LCRA, were two of the twenty-two international collaborators named in the successful application.

IRNIE and LCRA's research grant proposals are currently being planned in the areas of values education and inclusive education full text
