Gavin Killip is Professor of Buildings & Energy Policy at Nottingham Trent University and an Honorary Research Associate at the Department of Education’s Research Centre for Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE).

Gavin’s research is motivated by finding solutions to climate change, particularly in relation to energy efficiency and energy systems in buildings and cities. He has an interest in the development of supply chains and business models, which intersects with issues around jobs and training in the construction sector. Gavin has previously collaborated with SKOPE colleagues on the state of provision for construction training in the FE sector. He has worked with innovators in the construction sector on new courses and with industry bodies on the wider policy context for the energy system and the built environment.

Gavin was previously a Senior Researcher at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford before taking up a professorship in the School of Architecture Design & Built Environment at Nottingham Trent University. As an Honorary Research Associate, Gavin seeks to deepen the existing links with SKOPE, bringing closer together the research on construction skills and the practice of HE and FE on the ground.

Gavin is interested in the relations between further and higher education in the UK and in similar wealthy countries with liberal market economies.

Professor Maria Teresa Tatto is an internationally respected expert in comparative education whose research focuses on teacher education systems and, more generally, on studying how the intersection of research, policy, and practice can result in more equitable and widely accessible educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Her recent research addresses the impact of mathematics teacher preparation on teaching and learning and globalization and its effects on education, including teacher education.

Professor Tatto’s collaboration with colleagues in the University of Oxford Department of Education has been continuous, extensive, and highly productive, engaging in studies at the cutting edge of research in teacher education policy and practice. She has been an effective ambassador for the Department and has established a long-lasting collaboration in research and dissemination, teaching, and other activities since 2013. Professor Tatto’s association with the University of Oxford Department of Education has promoted the Department’s research worldwide. She brings to this association a high-profile research agenda in the U.S., Latin America, and internationally across several areas of education and an extensive research network in more than 50 countries. Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.

She is also an Honorary Research Fellow at our Department, where she worked from 2000 until 2018. She co-supervises two doctoral students at the OUDE.

Her research interests address curriculum development; educational effectiveness; quality of early childhood environments; and the role of evidence-informed practices in education. Her methodological expertise covers longitudinal studies; evaluations; trials, quasi-experimental designs; mixed methods and systematic reviews. She has led many large grants evaluating local, national and international parenting programmes including the Early Learning Partnership Project (ELPP).

She was one of the Principal Investigators of the Evaluation of Children’s Centres in England, leading the parenting strand funded by the Department for Education (DfE).  Since 2008 she has been involved in a number of projects that address professional development and work with practitioners. They have focused on the professional development of early-years teachers and professionals in inclusive early childhood environments or in supporting children’s language and literacy development. In 2017 she led the parenting strand of the ISOTIS project funded by Horizon 2020.

Professor Maria Teresa Tatto is an internationally respected expert in comparative education whose research focuses on teacher education systems and, more generally, on studying how the intersection of research, policy, and practice can result in more equitable and widely accessible educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Her recent research addresses the impact of mathematics teacher preparation on teaching and learning and globalization and its effects on education, including teacher education.

Professor Tatto’s collaboration with colleagues in the University of Oxford Department of Education has been continuous, extensive, and highly productive, engaging in studies at the cutting edge of research in teacher education policy and practice. She has been an effective ambassador for the Department and has established a long-lasting collaboration in research and dissemination, teaching, and other activities since 2013. Professor Tatto’s association with the University of Oxford Department of Education has promoted the Department’s research worldwide. She brings to this association a high-profile research agenda in the U.S., Latin America, and internationally across several areas of education and an extensive research network in more than 50 countries. Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.

Professor Maria Teresa Tatto is an internationally respected expert in comparative education whose research focuses on teacher education systems and, more generally, on studying how the intersection of research, policy, and practice can result in more equitable and widely accessible educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Her recent research addresses the impact of mathematics teacher preparation on teaching and learning and globalization and its effects on education, including teacher education.

Professor Tatto’s collaboration with colleagues in the University of Oxford Department of Education has been continuous, extensive, and highly productive, engaging in studies at the cutting edge of research in teacher education policy and practice. She has been an effective ambassador for the Department and has established a long-lasting collaboration in research and dissemination, teaching, and other activities since 2013. Professor Tatto’s association with the University of Oxford Department of Education has promoted the Department’s research worldwide. She brings to this association a high-profile research agenda in the U.S., Latin America, and internationally across several areas of education and an extensive research network in more than 50 countries. Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.

Professor Maria Teresa Tatto is an internationally respected expert in comparative education whose research focuses on teacher education systems and, more generally, on studying how the intersection of research, policy, and practice can result in more equitable and widely accessible educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Her recent research addresses the impact of mathematics teacher preparation on teaching and learning and globalization and its effects on education, including teacher education.

Professor Tatto’s collaboration with colleagues in the University of Oxford Department of Education has been continuous, extensive, and highly productive, engaging in studies at the cutting edge of research in teacher education policy and practice. She has been an effective ambassador for the Department and has established a long-lasting collaboration in research and dissemination, teaching, and other activities since 2013. Professor Tatto’s association with the University of Oxford Department of Education has promoted the Department’s research worldwide. She brings to this association a high-profile research agenda in the U.S., Latin America, and internationally across several areas of education and an extensive research network in more than 50 countries. Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.

Professor Maria Teresa Tatto is an internationally respected expert in comparative education whose research focuses on teacher education systems and, more generally, on studying how the intersection of research, policy, and practice can result in more equitable and widely accessible educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Her recent research addresses the impact of mathematics teacher preparation on teaching and learning and globalization and its effects on education, including teacher education.

Professor Tatto’s collaboration with colleagues in the University of Oxford Department of Education has been continuous, extensive, and highly productive, engaging in studies at the cutting edge of research in teacher education policy and practice. She has been an effective ambassador for the Department and has established a long-lasting collaboration in research and dissemination, teaching, and other activities since 2013. Professor Tatto’s association with the University of Oxford Department of Education has promoted the Department’s research worldwide. She brings to this association a high-profile research agenda in the U.S., Latin America, and internationally across several areas of education and an extensive research network in more than 50 countries. Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.

Gavin Killip is Professor of Buildings & Energy Policy at Nottingham Trent University and an Honorary Research Associate at the Department of Education’s Research Centre for Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE).

Gavin’s research is motivated by finding solutions to climate change, particularly in relation to energy efficiency and energy systems in buildings and cities. He has an interest in the development of supply chains and business models, which intersects with issues around jobs and training in the construction sector. Gavin has previously collaborated with SKOPE colleagues on the state of provision for construction training in the FE sector. He has worked with innovators in the construction sector on new courses and with industry bodies on the wider policy context for the energy system and the built environment.

Gavin was previously a Senior Researcher at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford before taking up a professorship in the School of Architecture Design & Built Environment at Nottingham Trent University. As an Honorary Research Associate, Gavin seeks to deepen the existing links with SKOPE, bringing closer together the research on construction skills and the practice of HE and FE on the ground.

Gavin is interested in the relations between further and higher education in the UK and in similar wealthy countries with liberal market economies.

Professor Maria Teresa Tatto is an internationally respected expert in comparative education whose research focuses on teacher education systems and, more generally, on studying how the intersection of research, policy, and practice can result in more equitable and widely accessible educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Her recent research addresses the impact of mathematics teacher preparation on teaching and learning and globalization and its effects on education, including teacher education.

Professor Tatto’s collaboration with colleagues in the University of Oxford Department of Education has been continuous, extensive, and highly productive, engaging in studies at the cutting edge of research in teacher education policy and practice. She has been an effective ambassador for the Department and has established a long-lasting collaboration in research and dissemination, teaching, and other activities since 2013. Professor Tatto’s association with the University of Oxford Department of Education has promoted the Department’s research worldwide. She brings to this association a high-profile research agenda in the U.S., Latin America, and internationally across several areas of education and an extensive research network in more than 50 countries. Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.

Gavin Killip is Professor of Buildings & Energy Policy at Nottingham Trent University and an Honorary Research Associate at the Department of Education’s Research Centre for Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE).

Gavin’s research is motivated by finding solutions to climate change, particularly in relation to energy efficiency and energy systems in buildings and cities. He has an interest in the development of supply chains and business models, which intersects with issues around jobs and training in the construction sector. Gavin has previously collaborated with SKOPE colleagues on the state of provision for construction training in the FE sector. He has worked with innovators in the construction sector on new courses and with industry bodies on the wider policy context for the energy system and the built environment.

Gavin was previously a Senior Researcher at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford before taking up a professorship in the School of Architecture Design & Built Environment at Nottingham Trent University. As an Honorary Research Associate, Gavin seeks to deepen the existing links with SKOPE, bringing closer together the research on construction skills and the practice of HE and FE on the ground.

Gavin is interested in the relations between further and higher education in the UK and in similar wealthy countries with liberal market economies.

Professor Maria Teresa Tatto is an internationally respected expert in comparative education whose research focuses on teacher education systems and, more generally, on studying how the intersection of research, policy, and practice can result in more equitable and widely accessible educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Her recent research addresses the impact of mathematics teacher preparation on teaching and learning and globalization and its effects on education, including teacher education.

Professor Tatto’s collaboration with colleagues in the University of Oxford Department of Education has been continuous, extensive, and highly productive, engaging in studies at the cutting edge of research in teacher education policy and practice. She has been an effective ambassador for the Department and has established a long-lasting collaboration in research and dissemination, teaching, and other activities since 2013. Professor Tatto’s association with the University of Oxford Department of Education has promoted the Department’s research worldwide. She brings to this association a high-profile research agenda in the U.S., Latin America, and internationally across several areas of education and an extensive research network in more than 50 countries. Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.

Professor Maria Tsitiridou Evangelou is an internationally respected leader in the field of early childhood interventions and their design and evaluations, specialising in children’s language and literacy development and parenting.

She was elected as a Professor of Early Childhood Interventions in the Department of Early Childhood Education and Care at the International Hellenic University in February 2022. She is also an Honorary Research Fellow at our Department, where she worked from 2000 until 2018. She co-supervises two doctoral students at the OUDE.

Her research interests address curriculum development; educational effectiveness; quality of early childhood environments; and the role of evidence-informed practices in education. Her methodological expertise covers longitudinal studies; evaluations; trials, quasi-experimental designs; mixed methods and systematic reviews. She has led many large grants evaluating local, national and international parenting programmes including the Early Learning Partnership Project (ELPP).

She was one of the Principal Investigators of the Evaluation of Children’s Centres in England, leading the parenting strand funded by the Department for Education (DfE).  Since 2008 she has been involved in a number of projects that address professional development and work with practitioners. They have focused on the professional development of early-years teachers and professionals in inclusive early childhood environments or in supporting children’s language and literacy development. In 2017 she led the parenting strand of the ISOTIS project funded by Horizon 2020.

Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.

Professor Maria Teresa Tatto is an internationally respected expert in comparative education whose research focuses on teacher education systems and, more generally, on studying how the intersection of research, policy, and practice can result in more equitable and widely accessible educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Her recent research addresses the impact of mathematics teacher preparation on teaching and learning and globalization and its effects on education, including teacher education.

Professor Tatto’s collaboration with colleagues in the University of Oxford Department of Education has been continuous, extensive, and highly productive, engaging in studies at the cutting edge of research in teacher education policy and practice. She has been an effective ambassador for the Department and has established a long-lasting collaboration in research and dissemination, teaching, and other activities since 2013. Professor Tatto’s association with the University of Oxford Department of Education has promoted the Department’s research worldwide. She brings to this association a high-profile research agenda in the U.S., Latin America, and internationally across several areas of education and an extensive research network in more than 50 countries. Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.

Professor Maria Teresa Tatto is an internationally respected expert in comparative education whose research focuses on teacher education systems and, more generally, on studying how the intersection of research, policy, and practice can result in more equitable and widely accessible educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. Her recent research addresses the impact of mathematics teacher preparation on teaching and learning and globalization and its effects on education, including teacher education.

Professor Tatto’s collaboration with colleagues in the University of Oxford Department of Education has been continuous, extensive, and highly productive, engaging in studies at the cutting edge of research in teacher education policy and practice. She has been an effective ambassador for the Department and has established a long-lasting collaboration in research and dissemination, teaching, and other activities since 2013. Professor Tatto’s association with the University of Oxford Department of Education has promoted the Department’s research worldwide. She brings to this association a high-profile research agenda in the U.S., Latin America, and internationally across several areas of education and an extensive research network in more than 50 countries. Her expertise as the Director of the Master in Education in Global Education at Arizona State University may help develop new initiatives in the Department as this all-online program prepares current teachers as global researchers.

Professor Tatto obtained her master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Education and her undergraduate in Educational Psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She is a former president of the Comparative and International Education Society and a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association. She is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Education, and a Visiting Professor at University College London, Institute of Education, and the University of Bath, England.

Professor Tatto served as the Principal Investigator and Executive Director of the first large-scale cross-national study of the effectiveness of teacher education: Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics (TEDS-M), sponsored by the International Education Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and the follow-up study: The First Five Years of Mathematics Teaching (FIRSTMATH). She was the co-Principal Investigator of Developing Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics Middle School Teachers: A Cross-National Study of Teacher Preparation (Pre-TEDS/ MT21). The U.S. National Science Foundation and the participating countries funded all these studies.

She is a frequent keynote speaker and presenter at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, the British Education Research Association, The Comparative and International Education Society, the European Educational Research Association, and the World Education Research Association, among others.

Professor Tatto serves as Editor-in-Chief for Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies and STEM Education, a journal of the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics Section), and as editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Education Research Association. She serves on the advisory boards of the Comparative Education Review, the Curriculum Journal, a Journal of the British Education Research Association, and the European Journal of Teacher Education, among others. She reviews for multiple journals and plays an active role in professional conferences, including serving in key committees and as an organiser, chair, presenter, and discussant in academic panels.

She is a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation Grant Programs (e.g., IUSE, EHR, HER, DRL, REESE, CAREER). She regularly contributes to key initiatives such as the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme (Oxford Policy Management and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford); the Visioning Panel for the 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Assessment Framework (National Assessment Governing Board, Washington, D.C.); and the Teacher Education Evaluation Panel (National Accreditation Commission, Santiago, Chile).

Pramod is an Honorary Norham Fellow in the Department of Education. Pramod is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. Pramod completed his PhD in Language and Literacy Education from the University of British Columbia, where he was also a Killam Laureate and Sessional Lecturer. Before beginning his research career, Pramod lived and taught in elementary and secondary schools in Nepal for about five years.

Pramod’s primary research focuses on the issues of English as a medium of instruction (EMI), language education policy, language ideology, multilingual/translingual practices, epistemic injustice, ethnic/racial discourses, and multilingual and multimodal literacies of youth. Pramod’s PhD research examined the development of EMI policies at different policy layers (e.g., federal, provincial, municipal, and school) and how the practice of EMI policies influenced access, quality, and equity for ethnolinguistic, class, caste, religion, and gender minoritized students in Southern part of Nepal.

One of his current research projects looks at how newcomer students construct, (re)negotiate, and resist their intersectional identities (the intersection of language, race/ethnicity, culture, and religion) in the process of learning the English language at a Canadian school. His research interests also include teacher education with a key focus on teacher agency and linguistic and cultural responsiveness in teacher preparation programs and policies.

Pramod is also an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Education, Language, and Ideology. He has edited two books of EMI in Asian universities and published many articles in international journals.
