Annelies Kamp – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2024
This article takes up an ANTian sensibility to explore the enactment of a policy for educational collaboration in one region in the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand (New Zealand). The case offers potential for considering the benefits of a sociology of associations (Latour 2005/2007): a Treaty-based bicultural nation, school atomisation…

van der Walt, J. L.; Oosthuizen, I. J. – Perspectives in Education, 2021
General legislation as well as legislation specifically regulating education in South Africa is aimed at the protection and advancement of the best interests of children (learners).

Goodson, Ivor. F.; Rudd, Tim – Educational Practice and Theory, 2016
There is a good deal of ongoing debate about the effects and impacts of globalisation.
