Michael R. Matthews – Science & Education, 2024
Beginning 60 years ago, Thomas Kuhn has had a significant impact across the academy and on culture more widely. And he had a great impact on science education research, theorising, and pedagogy.

Brock, Richard; Kampourakis, Kostas – Science & Education, 2023

Rømer, Thomas Aastrup – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2021

This conclusion is based on Biesta's roots in the post-structuralist tradition and its…

Sharon Stein – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2024
This article reflects on recent calls for universities to deepen their commitments to sustainability in the face of climate change.

Fabio Cerqueira Campos – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Solid and resilient democracies rest upon an informed citizenry capable of critiquing societal issues and reimagining alternative scenarios.

Piattoeva, Nelli; Saari, Antti – Journal of Education Policy, 2022
The article focuses on infrastructures as heterogeneous assemblages. Our claim is that to examine something as elusive as data infrastructure calls for an epistemological and methodological approach consistent with the fluid ontology of the object of study. Moreover, we assert that there is no position of exteriority from which to critique data…
