Professor Nidhi Singal

My core areas of research interest lie in addressing issues of educational inequity among marginalised groups in Southern contexts. I have worked extensively with children and young people with disabilities in South Asia and Africa. My research has focused on the experiences of children with disabilities attending a range of different educational arrangements, the quality of teaching and learning in these settings, and the impact of schooling on short and long term outcomes. Another important dimension in my work has been the development of culturally sensitive approaches in educational research. I am particularly interested in critically examining power relations in North-South research partnerships, the ethics of research dissemination, and the impact of educational research on policy making for children with disabilities.
