Within the framework of the reemergence of the theme of antifascism in contemporary educational theory, this paper raises the question of whether antifascism may be considered as a genuinely educational concept. Moreover, it investigates whether and to what extent the idea of antifascist education should remain anchored to an explicit reference to…

Mathematics education is inherent to the discourse of globalization, which often states that mathematical knowledge is universal. Certain global mathematical techniques and procedures found in many mathematics curricula around the world often discourage students to engage in creating their own mathematical knowledge. This suggests that dominant…

Our discussion addresses Benjamin's antifascist education through the lens of aesthetic education and Herbert Marcuse's aesthetic theory. While this theme is not explicitly discussed in Lewis' book, we argue that it is essential for understanding the full political and educational potential of what he calls "the art of straying in the…

The racial mismatch between the overwhelmingly white teaching force and an increasingly heterogeneous student population continues to widen (Boucher, M. (2016). "Urban Education," 51(1), 82-107.) with pernicious implications for BIPOC students "who are systematically marginalized by the institution of schooling" (Kinloch, V.,…

This essay argues that educational practices are uniquely situated to mobilize antifascist resistance. Contemporary fascism produces through macro- and micropolitical movements. The author looks to how educational practices make molecular fascist productions sensible. Educators can resist the molecular and micropolitical productions of fascist…

Recognizing the current turmoil resulting in the displacement of large numbers of people across the globe, the continuing persecution of groups within their countries, and the necessity of responding effectively and globally to human vulnerability, the authors argue for the elevation of human rights content within the social work curriculum.

In this article, the authors drew on conceptual frameworks of justice-oriented technology and inquiry pedagogy to explore the question, "How can teacher educators teach and best prepare their own students (preservice and in-service teachers) to teach about justice-oriented technology pedagogy?" The authors provide an example for teacher…

Philosophical work on self-respect has distinguished between various kinds of self-respect. In this paper, Shiying Li begins by introducing important kinds of self-respect and exploring the conceptual and empirical relations among them. She then discusses the value and political significance of social bases of self-respect for both individuals and…

In this paper, I consider pedagogical moments when the project of pedagogy is to "not understand," as understanding would entail complicity with dehumanization. I explore the slipperiness of understanding and parse when understanding is helpful and when it reinscribes structures of dehumanization. I examine when it might be important in…

In this paper, servant leadership and critical pedagogy are amalgamated to explore how aspirations for a greater measure of social justice may be addressed within higher education. A preliminary framework is proposed based on three concepts from critical pedagogy: trust, dialogue, and empowerment. In-depth discussion precipitates valuable insights…

In this research-based, reflective narrative, five educators across diverse educational contexts reflect on the influence of their lifeworlds on their experience and practice. As reflective practitioners, the authors demonstrate how they have applied lifeworld fractions to affect their educational practice with purposeful action. They discuss the…

In this paper, the authors utilize critical reflection and autobiographical narratives as a pedagogical tool for aspiring school leaders to examine beliefs and assumptions on equity and social justice in an educational leadership preparation program. Comparative themes related to their developing social justice and equity orientations included:…

Throughout this article we argue that collectivity and soul inform the work of the expert teachers who we refer to as Jazz Pedagogues. Jazz's complicated history, like teaching, calls for a consideration of the painful, the messy, the beautiful, and the healing. We, a team of university researchers and classroom teachers, examine the ways jazz can…

This article contributes to contemporary theorising in comparative education by exploring how narratives of 'victims' and 'perpetrators' in postcolonial settings are understood in terms of affective justice. "Affective justice" is introduced as a framework for understanding justice as an affective practice. Through the analysis of two…
