Charteris, Jennifer; Gannon, Susanne; Mayes, Eve; Nye, Adele; Stephenson, Lauren – Higher Education Research and Development, 2016
The highly imagined and contested space of higher education is invested with an affectively loaded "knowledge economy optimism".

We extend previous analyses of the discursive…

Kennedy-Lewis, Brianna L.; Murphy, Amy S.; Grosland, Tanetha J. – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2016

Our…

Pillay, Daisy; Ngubane, Sithembiso – Perspectives in Education, 2018
Going beyond the static, dangerous version of a single story about who an African child inmate is, is an ethical responsibility -- especially when we consider the structural and material forces that are tangled in this evil deed. Drawing on a sociological framing of self and Foucault's theory of ethics, we take a narrative inquiry stance to…
