Educational Studies Association of Ireland (ESAI)

The Educational Studies Association of Ireland is a voluntary, non-political body, dedicated to the advancement of educational research in Ireland. It celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2016. Its various conferences provide a public forum where research findings are presented, educational ideas are voiced and a richer understanding of educational practice is promoted.

A primary aim of the ESAI is to ensure, as far as possible, that educational discourse in Ireland remains grounded in perspectives which are adequately acquainted with the evidence from the various disciplines of educational research and that educational policy-making at all levels remains similarly informed by arguments which are educationally sound.

The ESAI is the owner of the Journal Irish Educational Studies, published by Taylor and Francis and welcomes submissions for review from across Europe and beyond.
