Thomas, Anne Burns; Niesz, Tricia – Professional Development in Education, 2012
In this Viewpoint, we aim to raise questions about the positioning of teachers and teacher knowledge in professional development networks.

Magallanes, Alfred – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2012
I spent the first two years of college at a two-year community in southern California. I had very sheltered high school experience, so attending college was exciting for me. In high school, I wasn't involved in extracurricular activities or organizations other than choir, and I didn't share my sexual orientation with others. College, I hoped, was…

Cherwitz, Rick – Planning for Higher Education, 2010
The quest to create engaged public research universities requires academe to confront a stark reality: inflexible administrative structures, historically embedded practices, status-quo thinking, and inertia. Until these obstacles are overcome, the retreat from public life will not be arrested. In this article, the author provides a sample of the…

Tinberg, Howard – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2011
Over the years, the author has tried to make the case that literacy instruction for faculty does not end at the point of hire, just as it does not end for students at the point of graduation. In fact, for both, the journey toward literacy has really just begun. This article was originally delivered as the College Celebration speech at the 2010…

Brigham, Erin – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2012
In this paper, I suggest that community-based learning can act as a "public space" for the exchange of religious and non-religious identities. By providing a space for the collaboration between religiously-affiliated Universities and non-religiously affiliated community partners, community-based learning offers the opportunity for the negotiation…

Weinstein, Matthew – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2012
This article is a response to Carolina Castano's article "Extending the purposes of science education." Drawing on personal memories of life in Bogota, I raise questions about the nature of violence in Colombia broadly, and ask how the intervention Castano proposes changes the ecology of violence in that country. It also ponders the…

Grace, Gerald – Policy Futures in Education, 2012
This article argues that faith-based schools are a necessary feature of democratic and pluralistic societies and a legitimate expression of human rights as constituted in the European Convention in Human Rights (2000). It further argues that if the rights of parents to have a real choice for faith-based schools (regardless of ability to pay) are…

Perkins, Thomas – Community College Journal, 2012
These are perilous times for community colleges. State and federal departments of education are pressing the nation's two-year career and technical colleges to be accountable while the colleges experience reductions in state funding and try to streamline services. That pressure is intensified by a growing national expectation that community…

Harvard Educational Review, 2009
Jacques Bwira arrived in Uganda in 2000, having fled the violent conflict in his native country, the Democratic Republic of Congo. Though he had trained and worked as a teacher in Congo, he feared that speaking only French would prevent him from making a living in his new home. The police officer who interrogated Jacques on arrival in the capital…
