Objective: The largest Global Climate Strike in history was led and organized by youth, demonstrating students consider climate change a key issue impacting their futures. However, researchers know little about the climate change knowledge and experiences elementary students bring to the classroom. We aimed to engage and explore elementary…

This paper reflects on an Ethical Review Board's (ERB) established structure of practice throughout a student-led project. We use the research project as a means of exploring the three questions set by the Editors, Fox and Busher, regarding the role of ERBs throughout the research process. We gained full university-level ethical approval in…

Social media is becoming a professional resource in education as teachers aspire to integrate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into their curriculums and teaching practices (Carpenter, 2019; Hardy, 2014; Oddone, 2019). Previous research records 82% of educators use Instagram; this number implies influencers' ideas are reaching a significant…

The College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework advocates building civic competence in all students6 The C3 Inquiry Arc involves engaging students with compelling and supporting questions, using disciplinary content and skills to have students investigate these questions, evaluate sources they use along the way, and take action with their new…

Photovoice research is conducted by researchers to communicate images or photographs, and it has high confidence in analyzing the value, story or meaning of an image. Several previous studies that examined photovoice as a research strategy were analyzed and reviewed. This systematic review used an article selection process. It was defining the…

We have added two improvements to a self-luminous LED stroboscope (a flashing point-like projectile developed for introductory mechanics): downsizing by replacing heavy and risky batteries with a compact and safe capacitor of several Farads (a so-called Super-C) and wireless control via ordinary IR (infrared) communications. Consequently, the…

I had been sitting in a coffee shop in Reykjavik, Iceland, cycling through my photographs of the aurora borealis from the night before in Njardvik, when a man at the next table struck up a conversation. Recognizing his familial ties to the location in my photographs, he began to share stories that his grandfather told him as a child regarding the…

In this article I offer reflections on my experiences of using autoethnographic and arts-based methodology in order to research within the realm of arts education. This approach enabled me to deeply analyse my own lived-experiences and interact with the work and responses of others. Liminal spaces between identities of artist, researcher and…

The use of photography representing human distress in higher education warrants moral attention, owing to the imperative that we avoid objectifying the vulnerable communities who are often represented in those images. Assuming the fundamental Kantian precept that we should always treat others as ends and never merely as means, I extend this…

In this article, we suggest incorporating visual images into peace education through "interactive peace imagery" (IPI). We will show, and illustrate with examples from our work, that interactive teaching creates a space for students to reflect upon their socializations, including visual ones, without which image interpretation cannot be…

Participatory health research (PHR) and the use of arts-based methods continues to grow in popularity. Many scholars acknowledge the importance of (visual) ethics, especially in the dissemination of photographs in a digital age, but ethical issues that arise in relation to contact with the press and social media are not well documented. This…

Visual evidence offered by a set of previously unexamined photographic images taken at Stanmore Public School in Sydney, Australia in 1919 informs this paper which considers the images' purpose, construction, content, use, and reception. It endorses arguments that visual evidence combines with other sources to tell a richer history, and that…

As the body of literature elucidating the experiences of transgender and nonbinary young people grows, there is a need to identify and utilize research methodologies that build knowledge, while also advancing participant wellbeing. Expanding a research ethic beyond "limiting harm" and toward "promoting wellness" can not only…

Background: Sexting is sending, receiving, or forwarding sexually explicit messages, images, or videos through electronic means. Research has examined sexting in high school and college students. This study seeks to add to the existing literature by exploring the nature of pressured or problematic sexting in middle school-aged subjects. Methods:…

The architecture of Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ), set up under Her Highness Sheikha Moza Al-Misnedd and the Qatar Foundation, spatially embodies new possibilities because AIA Gold Medal award-winning architect Ricardo Legorreta designed buildings that both challenge and encompass Gulf Arabian tradition. The buildings exemplify, enact,…
