Kieran, P.; Mc Donagh, J. – British Journal of Religious Education, 2021
In Ireland primary RE is a fractured, contested, complex and changing territory devoid of a common language and characterised by a proliferation of syllabi and curricula generated for increasingly diverse school types.

This paper outlines the experience…

Duffy, Gavin; Gallagher, Tony – Journal of Educational Change, 2017
Societies which suffer from ethnic and political divisions are often characterised by patterns of social and institutional separation, and sometimes these divisions remain even after political conflict has ended.

Hastie, David – English in Australia, 2017
Australian Protestant schools have often been depicted as sites that restrict knowledge. This paper presents the findings of a 2010-2013 field study of 137 teachers, exploring the nature and extent of Protestant School English teacher self-censorship when excluding and selecting texts to teach. In both survey and interview data, I find that the…
