Direct linkJulie Kasper; Jill Koyama; Adnan Turan – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2025
The coloniality matrix of power is foundational to many national education systems. Thinking with Lather ("Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society", 27(1), 199-227), we argue that "traces, fragments, and ruins survive, embedded in common sense, perspective, social practices, and political power" (p. 200) long after…

Jonathan Wurtz – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2025
In this article, I examine the sustainability of employing philosophy for children (P4C) to address the ongoing ecological crises affecting Guam. I argue that although P4C aims to foster a more ecological form of living, its failure to cultivate contemplation and dialogue grounded in specific ecosystems renders it incapable of fostering generative…

Kai Horsthemke – Ethics and Education, 2025
The latest buzz word within the intersecting terrain of postcolonial pedagogy and social and applied epistemology seems to be the notion of 'reparation' -- or, to be more precise, reparation pertaining to past and ongoing epistemic injustice and harm. Reparations are frequently taken to involve decolonisation of both education and knowledge. The…

Wildlife-human relations in the United States are predominantly influenced by Euro-American sociocultural dynamics and (neo)colonial legacies. Humans dominate nonhuman animals through violence, suffering, and death. Wildlife management as a practice is becoming increasingly criticized. Disagreement emerges from epistemological and ontological…

Zembylas, Michalinos – Prospects, 2023
This article utilizes feminist and postcolonial scholarship to shed light on the affective governmentality that takes place in the context of both liberal democracy and right-wing populism. In particular, it articulates a political grammar of feelings that makes visible in democratic education how affective modes of governing operate and what…

Nozomi Sakata; Chris Yates; Hannah Edjah; Abraham Kwadwo Okrah – Comparative Education, 2024
Framed by Homi Bhabha's concepts of hybridity and the third space of enunciation, this study explores postcolonial relationships conceivably enacted through policy borrowing processes of learner-centred pedagogy (LCP) in Ghana. Nine Ghanaian and nine foreign stakeholders were interviewed. Conscious of the power imbalance implicit in traditional…

Aselmeyer, Norman – Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society, 2022
This article is concerned with the memory of the Uganda Railway in Kenya. Built during the heyday of British imperialism at the end of the nineteenth century, the colonial railway has been a highly contested infrastructure. Drawing on museum exhibitions, public speeches, and publications, the article argues that the main narrative of the railway…

Kayumova, Shakhnoza; Dou, Remy – Science Education, 2022
Concepts in science education such as "science identity" and "science capital" are informed by dominant epistemological and ontological positions, which translate into assumptions about what counts as science and whose science counts. In this theoretical paper we draw on decolonial and antiracist perspectives to examine these…

Zembylas, Michalinos – Teaching Education, 2022
This paper presents how biopedagogies of disgust can make a contribution to challenging the colonial order that is sustained through affective economies of disgust. It is argued that, for this to happen, teachers need to move students away from the negative affective responses of disgust towards an affirmation of radical difference. Affective…

Gwendolyn Gillson; Kacie Wills – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2025
Doing anti-racist pedagogy presents many challenges. This is especially the case for faculty at small liberal arts colleges (SLACs). The authors argue that through teaching theory related to anti-racism and social justice in the classroom, faculty across disciplines can come together to access other worldviews and ways of being in their teaching.…

Ali, Tahir; Buergelt, Petra T.; Maypilama, Elaine Lawurrpa; Paton, Douglas; Smith, James A.; Jehan, Noor – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Historically, non-Indigenous researchers have contributed to colonisation by research based on Western positivistic philosophical frameworks. This approach led to disembodying knowledge from Indigenous people's histories, worldviews, and cultural and social practices, thus perpetuating a deficit-based discourse which situates the responsibility of…
