Tummons, Jonathan – Research in Post-Compulsory Education, 2023
Drawing on interim findings from an ethnography of a cycle mechanics' workshop, this article demonstrates how the work of the mechanics rests on not only specific and contextualised craft expertise but also on distributed networks of both people and things, within which highly specialist instances of expertise or competence manifest alongside more…

Doerr, Katherine – Gender and Education, 2023
This inquiry into the nature of feminist solidarity in the academic sciences is guided by the intra-activity of gendered bodies in teaching-intensive faculty positions.

Maclean, Jordan – Studies in Continuing Education, 2021
Sport coaches continue to coach without reference to a conceptualisation of coaching. Indeed, coaching research has been caught in a chasm between process and practice conceptualisations, further widening the application of theory to practice. And coaches are often the protagonists in both of these accounts. Yet, as we will see, this is…

Casey Burkholder; Melissa Keehn – Curriculum Inquiry, 2024
What might femme pedagogy offer to sexuality education? Inspired by Jessica Fields's (2023) observation that femme pedagogies create intellectual, powerful, and intimate possibilities marked by love and care, we theorize how a femme pedagogy might be used to disrupt the cis-heteronormative, deficit spaces of conventional sexuality education.…

Kolpin, Van – Journal of Economic Education, 2018
The derivation of conditions necessary for Pareto efficient production and exchange is a lesson frequently showcased in microeconomic theory textbooks.
