Education and Conflict Review (ECR) is a peer-reviewed journal hosted by the Centre for Education and International Development (CEID) at IOE.
Education and Conflict Review (ECR) focuses on debates about education, conflict and international development and aims to provide succinct analyses of social, political, economic and security dimensions in conflict-affected and humanitarian situations. ECR provides a forum for knowledge exchange to build synergies between academics, practitioners and graduate students who are researching and working on educational issues in these environments.
Unlike conventional academic papers, the ECR provides a space for short original contributions (3500-4000 words including references) that draw upon empirical work or present thought-provoking theoretical arguments in the subfield of education and conflict.
