The Centre for Citizenship and Human Rights Education (CCHRE) was established to promote and develop research, consultancy and postgraduate studies in citizenship education and human rights education. It is a leading international centre in this field and welcomes students and researchers from around the world. The Centre's work is inter-disciplinary and we actively promote the involvement of institutions, agencies and professionals. CCHRE is involved in a range of activities at local, regional, national and international levels. Our members are drawn from a number of academic departments at the University of Leeds and beyond. The Centre Director is Professor Audrey Osler. The Centre for Citizenship and Human Rights Education is committed to developing more democratic and inclusive approaches to education, based on the principles of freedom, equality, justice and peace. We are particularly interested in issues of ethnic diversity, gender and race equality, children's rights and in policy-orientated research.
CCHRE provides a focus for those researching or engaging in citizenship and human rights and education and who wish to address issues of democracy, justice, equality and diversity. Our MA in Education and Democracy is an innovative and interdisciplinary programme targetted at graduate students and experienced professionals. CCHRE also prepares students for research degrees (MPhil and PhD) in education for democratic citizenship, human rights education, and in the broad field of education for social justice. CCHRE postgraduate and doctoral students play a key role in the Centre’s activities and development. We welcome enquiries from prospective students, both full-time and part-time, interested in our academic programmes. CCHRE aims to disseminate research and good practice in citizenship and human rights education and to work in partnership with schools, colleges and a range of organisations working in formal, informal and norn-formal education both in the UK and internationally.
