This article discusses the considerable work has been carried out over the past few years at the Jane Austen's House museum with the aim of centering the visitor experience on Austen herself, and her writing. This might sound very obvious, and exactly what it should always have been, however, to walk through the House before this work took place,…

This field note shares the work of Gendermuseum (Museum of Women's and Gender History Museum), the only interactive non-governmental museum in Ukraine and post-soviet Eastern Europe. We trace its antecedents and feminist adult education aims and practices. Framed through the lens of feminist adult education, we discuss how it uses exhibitions and…

In the United States, numerous world language programs face criticism by being labeled as useless and inferior, resulting in curriculum and funding cuts. Despite defending their practicality, showing how vital skills are acquired through participation in these courses, many programs' efforts often fall short in conveying the essential role of…

This article examines the construction of national identity within Vietnam's neoliberal education framework, specifically how femininity is portrayed in Vietnamese textbooks via the classic poem 'Truyen Kieu'. Drawing on Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (FCDA) and an intersectional perspective, it scrutinises the discursive representation of…

This article describes the account of a "European Queens" course as an example of the intellectual growth available to both the professor and the student when an instructor uses engaged, responsive teaching to address apparently incommensurable understandings of a given topic. The author outlines how the study of premodern queens relates…

The authors use the skilled trades shortage as a unique context to pilot transformative approaches to changing culture and practice around equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in recruitment, progression, and retention of previously-excluded student groups, focusing on gender. To demonstrate how this approach can help achieve the necessary rapid…

What tensions do feminist educators face whilst working within the neoliberal university? In this paper, I reflect on the difficulties of practicing feminist pedagogies within a context of "systemic violence," asking what space there is to create transformative classrooms whilst working within a marketized higher education system which…

This paper explores parental experiences of school engagement, set against the backdrop of policy aspirations for parental involvement in schools. We suggest that the policy desire for parent engagement imagines a certain kind of 'engaged parent' that does not account for foundational shifts that have taken place in the economy and associated…

Good religious education needs to be rooted in a robust theological anthropology. The Roman Catholic Church's gender complementarity approach is inadequate for accompanying adolescents in Catholic schools as they engage in questions of gender and sexuality; instead, educators need a theological anthropology oriented towards adolescent flourishing.…

Trans* is an umbrella term to describe people whose gender is not the same as, or does not sit comfortably with, the sex they were assigned at birth. They may describe themselves using one or more of a wide variety of terms, including (but not limited to) transgender, non-binary, or genderqueer. Nowadays, trans* seems to be well established in…

In this case narrative, we introduce readers to Carmén, a newly appointed Queer Latina principal. Faced with bureaucratic responses to proposed anti-critical race theory (CRT) and LGBTQ+ legislation, Carmén is forced to contend with teacher and district responses and concerns. The case narrative is divided into three events, each requiring readers…

This article examines the complex socio-political factors that hindered the growth of girls' education in northern Ghana during the colonial and early postcolonial periods. While previous research has focused on broader regional disparities between the North and the South, the gendered aspects of educational disparity within the North remain…

This Research Brief provides an overview of the current scholarship on transnational feminist rhetorics (TFR), drawing from interdisciplinary traditions. TFR inquiries should always begin with "a cogent analysis of power" (Dingo et al.), attending to how transnational power dynamics act on gendered bodies and how those bodies engage with…

Policymakers have debated how schools should respond when transgender students (students who are assigned one sex at birth but identify with the opposite sex) seek to use facilities or participate in school activities consistent with their gender identity. One prominent area of contention is the participation of transgender athletes in school…

UNESCO estimates that an additional 44 million teachers are needed to achieve universal primary and secondary education by 2030. Consistent education and teacher policies are conducive to teacher recruitment and retention and support quality inclusive education as well as teachers themselves. Initial and continuing education is also one of the…
