First International Workshop on Evidential Pluralism in Education
This is the first of two workshops (the second will take place on May 8-9, 2025) that bring together researchers in philosophy of science, science studies, and education research, focusing on the thesis that educational research, practice, and policy require a pluralistic concept of evidence.
The workshop is part of the PEER – Pluralist Evidence in Education Research project and is supported by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.
