Ulanoff, Sharon H.; Fingon, Joan C.; Quiocho, Alice Maris Leilani – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
This paper examines the narratives/oral histories of three Latina teachers to help us understand how they negotiated and navigated their identity formation.

What is entailed in doing mathematics and becoming a mathematician?

May, Helen – Global Education Review, 2022
Miss Isabel Little was a Scottish infant teacher who immigrated to New Zealand in 1912.

Charteris, Jennifer; Gannon, Susanne; Mayes, Eve; Nye, Adele; Stephenson, Lauren – Higher Education Research and Development, 2016
The highly imagined and contested space of higher education is invested with an affectively loaded "knowledge economy optimism". Drawing on recent work in affect and critical geography, this paper considers the e/affects of the promises of the knowledge economy on its knowledge workers. We extend previous analyses of the discursive…

Kennedy-Lewis, Brianna L.; Murphy, Amy S.; Grosland, Tanetha J. – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2016
Educators' persistent disciplining of a small group of students positions them as "frequent flyers."

Using the methodology of interpretive biography positioned within narrative inquiry and using a Gestalt-based analysis,…

Hamann, Julian; Zimmer, Lena M. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2017
The paper investigates internationality as an academic virtue that is highly relevant for research biographies. The discursive trajectory of this virtue is assessed by comparing ascriptions of internationality in 216 academic obituaries from the US, UK and Germany, from physics, sociology and history, and from the 1960s, 1980s and 2000s. Our…

Pillay, Daisy; Ngubane, Sithembiso – Perspectives in Education, 2018
Going beyond the static, dangerous version of a single story about who an African child inmate is, is an ethical responsibility -- especially when we consider the structural and material forces that are tangled in this evil deed. Drawing on a sociological framing of self and Foucault's theory of ethics, we take a narrative inquiry stance to…

Writing retreats are structured events during which a group of people write in the same room over several days.

A second aim of the study was to contribute to the search for appropriate…
