Jeannette Pols; Amade M'charek; Sonja Jerak-Zuiderent; Jonna Brenninkmeijer – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2024
There are worries about the quality of scientific research, the validity of the knowledge it produces and the integrity of academics.

Using Dutch academia as a case, we show that the academics' understandings of…

Pomme van de Weerd – British Educational Research Journal, 2024
Equal opportunities in the context of education can be interpreted as ensuring equitable access to certain kinds of education (e.g. an academic track) or as equal opportunities to lead a fulfilling life regardless of the educational route followed (e.g. vocational or academic). These interpretations are in tension: the former implies a hierarchy…
