Biraimah, Karen L. – International Review of Education, 2016
Namibia has one of the most dehumanising and destructive colonial pasts of any nation in Africa, or, for that matter, the world.

This redistricting process can be used…

Johnson, Katharine – Rethinking Schools, 2012
As in many historically black neighborhoods in the United States, the gentrification of northeast Portland rests on an older history of economic injustice perpetrated by banks, realtors, governments, and white property owners. Redlining was one piece of an elaborate puzzle denying people of color access to housing and to wealth. The term refers to…

Stark, Tobias H.; Flache, Andreas – Sociology of Education, 2012
How can we reduce ethnic friendship segregation in ethnically heterogeneous schools?

The authors argue that the outcome of these common interest interventions may crucially depend…

Le Grange, Lesley – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2012
The erosion of the three interlocking dimensions of nature, society and self is the consequence of what Felix Guattari referred to as integrated world capitalism (IWC). In South Africa the erosion of nature, society and self is also the consequence of centuries of colonialism and decades of apartheid. In this paper I wish to explore how the…

On the night of Feb. 8, 1960, J. Charles Jones, then a student of religion and psychology at Johnson C. Smith University, knew instinctively what it was he needed to do for his generation.

Barbieri, Kim E. – Social Education, 2011
Graphic organizers are immensely popular--and much utilized--in many classrooms, particularly at the elementary level.

Le Grange, L. – South African Journal of Higher Education, 2011
In my review of the articles published in this issue of "SAJHE" I use the notion of "after" in two senses: "in imitation of" and "following in time" (moving beyond) (Schad 2003, x). In the first instance I wish to assess the extent to which contributors have drawn on Paulo Freire's concept of a…

Gulson, Kalervo N.; Fataar, Aslam – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2011
This paper applies ideas that emanate from the Global North, concerning neoliberalism and neoliberal governmentality, to the case of marketisation in South Africa. It also attends to the limits of Northern ideas that are both intellectual undertakings and policy manifestations. In the first part of the paper, we identify how rationales for school…
