Caruso, Marcelo – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2022

Orla McCormack; Joanne O'Flaherty; Seamus Conboy – Journal of Beliefs & Values, 2024

The years of the Second World War (1939-1945), a period known as The Emergency in Ireland, were pivotal for the development of the nation.

Brooks, Rachel – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2021
It is often assumed within much of the academic literature and by many of those working in higher education that universities across Europe are homogenising, converging around an Anglo-American model as a result of neo-liberal pressures and the aim of creating a single European Higher Education Area. However, drawing on an analysis of 92 policy…

Public education is not just a way to organise and fund education.

The ideal of public education sees education as an important dimension of the common good and as an important institution in…

Williams, Kevin – Irish Educational Studies, 2019

Courtois, Aline – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2019
This article suggests that a process of de-academisation is discernible in the way the Erasmus year abroad is promoted, organised, supervised and evaluated. The article argues that rather than being a product of students' consumerist rationalities, this process is produced within the conditions of the managerialised and under-resourced university.…

A decade of transformation that emerged following a period of inertia and insularity in Irish education, the 1960s is widely regarded by scholars as representing a paradigm shift in education policy. Marked by a more interventionist, strategic policy approach, this period resulted in significant democratisation of education, particularly at…
