Chisholm, Linda – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2023
Migration, xenophobia, barriers and rights to education have emerged as a significant issue in recent South African history. While there is a growing body of work on migrants and refugees within South Africa, little is known of the histories and contexts from which migrants come and how these have shaped their educational trajectories. Using…

Etan Cohen – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2024
The neoliberal turn has driven attempts to marketize education, but how does marketization occur? In this article I draw on ethnographic and linguistic-ethnographic methods to investigate marketization through a microanalytic lens. My investigation focuses on a team of educational professionals, who participated in a workshop led by an…

Unions have played a decisive role in promoting democracy and social justice in Tunisia. In 2023, two teacher unions led a yearlong 'silent strike' of withholding student marks from administration.

Holligan, Chris – FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2023
A common idea of research lies in association with virtues of open-mindedness, pursuit of truth and the liberation of humanity from burdens of prejudice. Aside from this "blue skies" picture of scientific research we have "practitioner research" designed by teachers to improve the quality of the education they provide in…

Kamenarac, Olivera – Policy Futures in Education, 2023
Neoliberal reforms have transformed the early childhood education (ECE) landscape worldwide. The purpose of ECE, what counts as early education and care, and "in" ECE has been dangerously narrowed to the production of human capital and rationalised by the myth that investing in young children (human capital) will guarantee a better…

Kenneth J. Saltman – Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, 2024
From climate disaster to the specter of nuclear annihilation to the rise of fascism and destruction of democracy to the advent of AI and other potentially destructive technologies, a number of material threats are matched by symbolic threats that undermine the capacities of people to respond. The war on public and critical education and the public…

Across Canada, school districts have been confronting a backlash to their equity and social justice initiatives.

D. Brent Edwards Jr.; Mauro C. Moschetti; Alejandro Caravaca – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2025
The central argument of this article is that post-colonial states operate--and have always operated, due to their roots in colonialism and capitalism--according to an "ethos of privatization," through which state agents derive private benefit from positions ostensibly responsible for providing public services. The article offers a…
