Stigma concepts among families of individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities have received increased attention from researchers in the past decade. With a growing number of studies published, there are also notable discrepancies in conceptualizations and uses of stigma terms among scholars. These variations may result in inadequate…

In this paper, we explore moments of racial awakening among East African communities in Minnesota. We examine how the events around the George Floyd protests have opened up racial conversations (and gave permission) for many East African Americans in Minnesota, to voice their own pain of being racialized. We call these private and public stories…

The psychology of science resistance, doubt, and denial has never had clearer consequences than during the COVID-19 pandemic. This manuscript explores how misconceptions about climate change, vaccines, and COVID-19 cannot be understood apart from the conscious and unconscious motivations and emotions which contribute to public (mis)understanding…

Teacher candidates and teacher educators of color often carry a heavy emotional burden as a consequence of the epistemic violence they experience in many TEPs (Teacher of Color Collective & Sauto-Manning, 2022). To interrupt this pattern, we must critically engage with emotion by examining what emotions "do," how emotions function…

A trigger warning is an early notification of any subject matter which might be considered traumatizing for the audience. It has been particularly common in university lectures and reading lists, and is either issued verbally prior to lectures or presentations, or is part of the syllabus. Trigger warnings have been enormously controversial.…

Nowadays, facial expression recognition (FER) has drawn considerable attention from the research community in various application domains due to the recent advancement of deep learning. In the education field, facial expression recognition has the potential to evaluate students' engagement in a classroom environment, especially for deaf and…

This article considers how past and current research on the history of education has intersected with the histories of emotions, senses and experience.

Drawing on my experience teaching a 10-week course on racial justice, delivered in the Korean language, to 1st generation Korean American seniors in the Southern United States. I explore how the…

The relationship between emotion and language in children is an emerging field of research. To carry out this type of study, researchers need to precisely manipulate the emotional parameters of the words in their experimental material. However, the number of affective norms for words in this population is still limited. To fill this gap, the…

This study connects to the term 'emotional labour', coined by [Hochschild, A. R. (1983) 2003. "The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling." 2nd ed. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press], and explores how skin and spa therapy students are constructed as emotional workers in learning processes surrounding the body.…

In this essay, we contend that there continues to be a lack of attentiveness in educational leadership and policy to addressing how critical educators "emotionally" navigate social and political issues generally, and racism particularly--both of which are emotional issues. As such, using brief examples of reflections from critical…

In this paper, I focus on teachers' lived experiences during the COVID-19 outbreak. Specifically, I explore the emotional impact the abrupt shift to online teaching had on teachers' work and life throughout the various phases of the lockdown. I develop my argument by analyzing teachers' everyday work, using a qualitative approach, and constructing…

Conflicts play an important role to improve group learning effectiveness; they can be decreased, increased, or ignored. Given the sequence of messages of a collaborative group, we are interested in recognizing conflicts (detecting whether a conflict exists or not). This is not an easy task because of different types of natural language…

The climate crisis is of a severity that fills many with a sense of hopelessness. The modest steps that ordinary citizens can take to reduce energy consumption and waste seem futile in relation to the massive changes that are needed from governments and industry, and inertia often results. The responses of philosophy and education have been…
