In their everyday work, scholars constantly acquire and transfer knowledge. Many of these knowledge flows are difficult to observe, not least because scholars are often not aware of them. This may be the reason why the attention to knowledge flows is very unevenly distributed across science studies, with bibliometric citation-based studies…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) yields tremendous opportunities for educational leaders who are forward-thinking, adaptable, updated, and aligned with new technologies (Milton & Al-Busaidi,2023). AI necessitates leaders, particularly those leaders in educational domains, to undergo significant paradigmatic shifts in their cognitive frameworks,…

Academic research and knowledge production are frequently pervaded by elitism (Torres-Olave et al., 2019), epistemic exclusion (Dotson, 2014; Settles et al., 2020), and racialization (Ray, 2019; Thelin, 2019; Wilder, 2013). These discriminatory, exclusionary, and biased systems delegitimize the work of minoritized scholars, stifle innovation, and…

The key problem under interrogation in this case study is how to conduct decolonizing research in education policy in a fast-globalising world where inequalities and injustices are experiencing rapid and exponential growth. I will argue that for research to be decolonizing it needs to be in the direction of emancipation and human freedom and not…

This study explores the multifaceted concept of "public good(s)" in the context of Japanese higher education. Through interviews with 11 stakeholders, including policymakers, representatives from academic associations, and institutional leaders from two national universities, the research reveals that "public good(s)" are…

In various technology-enhanced learning (TEL) environments, knowledge co-creation progresses through multimodal interactions that integrate verbal and nonverbal modalities, such as speech and gestures. This study investigated two distinct analytical approaches for analyzing multimodal interactions--triangulating and interleaving--by applying them…

This paper explores quadruple helix ecosystems, cultural hubs, and living labs as models for transformative partnerships for higher education institutions (HEIs) as they move towards more open, co-operative, and co-creative research and innovation formats for public good. The transition of HEIs from mode 2 to mode 3 institutions prompts a cultural…

This study investigated the possibilities of productive interactions during knowledge creation exercise in facilitated knowledge-artefact-mediated online workshops. The workshops were organised for health and social sector professionals by adhering to COVID-19 restrictions. The analysis focused on the discussion of the impact of professional…

Introduction: Language can reflect bias: an 'intellectual' disability means for many people that you cannot be an academic knowledge producer; a 'learning' disability means that your education will be hampered. Like language definitions, academic practices can reflect societal biases. The social (in)justice regarding knowledge and knowledge…

Knowledge management is one of the valuable dimensions essential for the educational institution to support teachers' performance. Therefore, the role of leaders in encouraging teachers to create and share knowledge is vital to earn a competitive advantage. This research was planned to find the relationship among leadership styles…

To create a socially just teaching method in higher education (HE), we used Fraser's social justice framework to create a new pedagogical method called student voice for social justice (SVSJ). SVSJ emphasizes student voice and empowerment by developing a co-constructed learning space where students can influence the procedure and content of the…

This article takes a deep dive into my doctoral journey and my lived experience as an emerging Black African scholar doing decolonial research in a South African colonial and Westernized university. I wrestle with the contradictions and tensions that emerged during this period that took place at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. I also look back…

In this conceptual paper, we offer a framework to examine how residency programmes can critically reflect upon their existence and presence as a democratic hub. As a model of teacher preparation that blends theory and university coursework with practice, residency programmes are designed to prepare and diversify the teacher workforce for a…

Background: There are various challenges to teachers' use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) for professional learning. Although GenAI is expected to play a transformative role in teachers' learning, its impact on them remains subtle. Objectives: Guided by community of practice, this paper examines the integration of GenAI into an…

This paper explores perceptions of responsibility for including attention to gender and inequality in higher education curricula and pedagogic approaches internationally, through insights from Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) funded interdisciplinary research across India, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Nigeria and the United Kingdom. Perspectives…
