Philosophy

The EPE project takes as its philosophical underpinning the need for social justice by focusing on the issue of who gets access to the postgraduate environment, what knowledge is included or excluded, and what levels of quality are enabled. The project endeavours to move beyond the notion of generic best practice in postgraduate education by taking institutional and disciplinary differentiation seriously into account. The project works across geographical contexts by bringing together colleagues from five countries to develop opportunities that challenge the human capital model and commodification of postgraduate education.
