Chris Brown is Professor in Education at Durham University’s School of Education. With a longstanding interest in how evidence can aid education policy and practice, this is Chris’s ninth book in this area (and his 16th overall). Chris has also presented and keynoted on the subject at a number of international conferences stretching the globe, from Africa to South America, and has extensive experience leading a range of funded projects, many of which seek to help teachers identify and scale up best practice. In 2018 Chris was awarded a Siftung Mercator Foundation Senior Fellowship. Each year Siftung Mercator identifies and invites just six people worldwide to apply each year for one of its fellowships. Potential Fellows are identified by a panel as “exceptionally talented and outstanding researchers and practitioners” from areas seen as relevant to the themes and fields of activity of Stiftung Mercator. The purpose of the Mercator Fellowship program is to offer selected fellows the space and freedom to also devote themselves to exploratory and unconventional research and practical projects (typically for six months). Previous fellows include advisors to former US President Barack Obama and current French President Emmanuel Macron.|Jane has been an elementary school teacher for more than 20 years, working in a variety of schools in various roles. In 2018, she became a Founding Fellow of England’s Chartered College of Teaching. Throughout her career, Jane has engaged in school-based research designed to raise pupil outcomes and involving the dissemination of this learning to colleagues. Jane is studying part time for a PhD at Durham University, focusing on ways to manage the competing priorities of teacher researchers and informal leaders in research learning networks. She has presented this work at national and international conferences. She is currently head/principal at Netley Marsh CE Infant School in the south of England.|Stephen is an Ontario Certified Teacher and a PhD candidate at Queen’s University, Canada. His doctoral research considers how multi-stakeholder networks, in education and other public service sectors, can mobilize research evidence to achieve societal impacts. A specific focus in his research is the role of higher education institutions and how they can build capacity in knowledge mobilization: a range of activities to connect research producers, users, and mediators. Stephen will soon begin a postdoctoral fellowship at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, where his research will explore knowledge brokering in research-intensive universities.
