Much of the research in composition about Hispanic-serving institutions focuses on the tripartite of writing program administrators, faculty, and students and the complexities of multilingual learner pedagogies. This article draws on conversational interview methods and data to analyze the servingness of three Floridian HSIs through critical race…

An important issue Noel Entwistle raises is the relationship between research and practice. Colin Smith believes this to be a complex issue that is illustrated by a metaphor of a web of webs of educational theories. A simpler version influenced his thinking in a secondment from secondary school teaching to Edinburgh University, and in the context…

The concept of social capital has become in recent decades one of the most powerful ideas in social science. Having its roots in sociology and economics, it has consistently "settled" in almost all fields that deal with human functioning--pedagogy, social work, social anthropology, history, health sciences. This multiplicity of…

The aim of this article is to explore Georg Simmel's concept of the blasé attitude and to contrast it with the notion of intelligent teachability, derived from Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition. Here, Stanislaw Galkowski and Pawel Kazmierczak view these two accounts through the lens of contemporary virtue epistemology, which helps to demonstrate…

Scholars often use Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Bourdieusian analyses with the aim of studying inequities in education. Despite their usefulness and popularity, a theoretical discourse between the two frameworks has not yet transpired and the two are sometimes constructed as incompatible, if not at odds. The argument in this essay is three-fold:…

Retention research has resulted in a number of theories, models, and frameworks, and the adoption of related strategies by institutions of higher education to graduate the students they admit. These strategies include programming designed to welcome students, give them a sense of belonging, and involve them in the academic and social realms of the…

Purpose: Although several researchers have statistically analyzed references associated with education for sustainable development based on the co-citation frequency, evolutionary analysis based on high-citation references omits literature with low citation frequency, which has a significant impact on the evolution of a discipline. The purpose of…

One of the intellectual threads to which Suellen Shay contributed was describing the curriculum structure of professional and vocational education. This work was part of the Bernsteinian call for a return to knowledge in the curriculum. But education for vocations and professions, termed 'regions', remains a vexing problem. Turning to LCT…

Identities undergo a series of influences, shifts, and dialogic constructions; this is especially true throughout adolescence and in relation to political and social situations within communities. A review of identity development literature coupled with research on multimodal creative expression reveals the ways in which identity is constructed…

The patterns of ecological devastation that mark the present unexpectedly enable an ancient and many-storied question to resurface with renewed force: the question of the arts of living--that is, of learning how to live and die well with others on a precarious Earth. Modernity has all but forgotten this question, which has long been buried under…

Proper institutional planning requires accurate enrollment forecasts. This is especially true in the community college context given open enrollment policies and reliance on public funds. Despite the importance of this task, enrollment forecasts are relatively disconnected from theoretical advances in the study of retention and enrollment. In this…

This essay focuses on the affective dimension of epistemic injustice -- specifically, the affective harms and burdens of epistemic injustice on individuals and groups -- and examines how pedagogy may help disrupt the "affective injustice" that epistemic injustice entails. This theorization facilitates the ability to recognize that…

In contemporary societies, there is a strong push toward seeing education as an instrument for the delivery of particular societal agendas. On such a view, the only questions that remain are how effective education is at delivering such agendas and how its effectiveness can be increased. While this might be a desirable way forward for those who…

In this study, I explore a time when I collaborated on an education-focused research project, which failed. I articulate my experience of failure as a positive means for improving collaborative research practice. I achieve this by repositioning the critiquing of failure through an auto-ethnographical account, integrating an adapted version of the…

Background: Interest in and debates around meaningful movement and embodiment in physical education (EPE) have grown over the last ten years. The quality of these discussions centre on a degree of conceptual clarity for talking pedagogically about embodiment, and consideration of ways of applying it in practice in meaningful ways. The aim of this…
