The Bridge is excited to announce the creation of a new research journal!

The Bridge Journal of Educational Research and Theory

The purpose of our journal is to create a community of inquiry into the interconnectedness of educational theory, research, practice and purpose. Our aim is to foster close collaboration between classroom practitioners and university researchers in a dialogic space of mutual exchange that challenges hierarchical notions of knowledge sources while enabling a transformative, collective and deep understanding of learning and teaching. We are open to the many varied forms of research and committed to empowering practitioner-researchers as we build a shared body of knowledge that addresses the complexities of contemporary education.

In addition to the publication of this open access, digital journal, we will be hosting webinars and conferences that will allow contributors to engage in opportunities for rich exchange with peers around the world.

If you are contemplating a research project and would like to connect with our network of likeminded educators, if you have an article or essay that you would like to submit for review, let us know! We are also seeking peer readers for submissions. Simply send an email with your address, institutional affiliation, and area of interest or expertise to ktaylor@wellingtoncollege.org.uk.
