This paper succinctly discusses the…

Mooney Simmie, Geraldine – Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, 2021
The global coronavirus pandemic provides a disruption of seismic proportions and, in the short term at least, appears to further the reform agenda set by neoliberal/elite policymakers to reduce education to the exchange-value of a commodity. In an earlier article in the Journal of Critical Education Policy Studies, I conducted a critical scrutiny…

Kieran, P.; Mc Donagh, J. – British Journal of Religious Education, 2021

Fleming, Domnall – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2015
In positioning student voice within the Irish education policy discourse it is imperative that this emergent and complex concept is explored and theorized in the context of its definition and motivation.
