In the realm of literacy education, curriculum is driven by politics, finances, standardization, and accountability. How specified curricular materials make their way into the classroom often baffles educators. The one thing they know is it is "isn't the one we voted for." This study includes a review of literature on how curricula were…

Addressing school bullying is a matter of social justice, but prevention and intervention efforts worldwide have achieved only modest results. Bullying has traditionally been conceptualised within psychology in terms of individuals' dysfunctionality, but research now also encompasses bullying based on bias rather than personal characteristics,…

If one looks up the words "Gen Z will" on Google, the first two results that appear are "Gen Z will save the world" and "Gen Z will change the world." Regardless of the veracity of these claims, the notion that Gen Z has a unique ability to shape global culture and politics runs rampant in mainstream media ecosystems.…

Every aspect of child development--from cognition to relationships--is shaped by macrolevel ideologies (e.g., white supremacy, patriarchy) that reflect the social hierarchies and embedded power structures of society. While ecological theories have long underscored the impact of macrosystems and cultures on humans, the field of child development…

In this collaborative autoethnographic piece, we present voices through critical incident technique replaying the same event at an academic conference, all seeking to understand how and why the disruption of voice occurs and what to do to counter it. We contextualize these experiences in the ideal of "sustainability of qualitative…

In a strategic case study, we apply a new social network analysis method to evaluate the sustainability of a public-private education governance network. We examine the balance of satisfaction across public and private sectors and the network's fairness in terms of whether…

Quantitative methods have a long historical entanglement with oppressive ideologies, including eugenics, white supremacism, and anti-LGBTQ+ ideology.

One such example is QuantCrit, which attempts to…

Family-school partnerships are considered essential to the success of multiply marginalized children in urban contexts. These partnerships often, however, reinforce middle-class white normativity and subsequent oppression of families outside the dominant culture. Home visiting is one such practice spreading throughout urban centers. Is it possible…

Schools can be permanently closed for many reasons -- economic rationalisation, post-disaster relocations, population decline or educational failure. Research on permanent school closures reports mostly negative and long-lasting consequences, not just for the school's staff and students, but for the local community. After the 2010/2011 Canterbury…

This is a study intended to address white supremacy in science education. To accomplish this, we describe how one White intern, Boaz, learned to teach science in anti-racist ways. By detailing how whiteness mattered in his learning to teach, we demonstrate that whiteness is potentially constant in White peoples' learning to teach science in…

According to Lemaire (2001), White privilege examples can be found in four paradigms. The first is that…
