Transformative Educational Research and Sustainable Development (TERSD) is a scholarly forum that aims to conceive, enact, and flourish the depth and scope of transformative capabilities, collaboration, embodied practice and praxis in education and research. This forum was initiated in 2016 by a number of professionals who are animated by transformative soul and striving for better education practices through transformative education approach. The first three conferences of this forum were hosted by Kathmandu University School of Education (KUSOED), Nepal. The initial conference, which took place in 2016, encouraged theoretically grounded conversations about the necessity of multi-paradigmatic epistemologies and relational ontologies in research and teaching. The second conference, in 2018, was centered on transforming society as a whole by means of knowledge legacy and context-responsive wisdom. The third conference, in 2022, aimed to broaden the scope of transformative educational research and practice by taking into account the ways in which locals, communities, and practitioners might survive in the face of challenging time and difficult circumstances brought on by covid-19. In order to critically understand who we are and who we might become as individuals and communities, the previous conferences provided us with an opportunity to broaden our conscious awareness of our situatedness in the world. This opened us up to the idea of promoting equity, empowerment, and enhanced meaningfulness in educational research and practice.
