Early childhood education (ECE) spaces within settler-colonial societies operate as sites of violence and oppression whereby non-conformity to white, rational, ableist, cisgender norms is weaponised as developmental deficits. In this paper, we refer to the refusals of non-dominant ways of knowing as forms of epistemic injustice (Fricker 2007). We…

This study analyses the patenting activities of university science and engineering professors in Canada between 1920 and 1975.

This article argues that the "airlift" language often used to describe the eight hundred Kenyan students who attended US and Canadian universities between 1959 and 1963 is misleading.

Work-integrated Learning (WIL) seeks to bridge the gap between 'scholastic' training and work.
