Critical Pedagogies Research Group (CPRG) School of Social Sciences, Western Sydney University

The Critical Pedagogies Research Group is an interdisciplinary community of scholars and educators exploring critical, creative, and practice-based approaches to teaching and learning in higher education. Through shared projects, writing, and ongoing co-inquiry, we nurture transformative educational scholarship and praxis. We offer a relational home where educators and scholars can deepen their engagement with critical pedagogies, trouble taken-for-granted assumptions, and develop their work alongside others. Our collective inquiry gathers around three intersecting themes: Institutions and Structures, Praxis, and Identities & Subjectivities. These themes are places of encounter, bringing people, ideas, and questions into conversation. Together, they create space for collaboration, critical inquiry, and interdisciplinary engagement, reflecting the interconnected concerns that bring us together. We invite you to explore each theme and discover the people, projects, and conversations that animate the CPRG.
