The problem addressed in this study is tax noncompliance by U.S. taxpayers. Despite the best efforts of the IRS noncompliance consistently averages 17% annually, amounting to billions of dollars in lost revenue for the federal government. The IRS needs to find a cost-effective method of closing this gap. Because the IRS has identified taxpayer…

Change is a regular feature of life. Few would argue that the school environment provides any exception. However, the way that change, and particularly organisational change, is studied is significant to the understanding which is derived. Examinations of school based organisational change have traditionally favoured structural lenses despite…

This text through the direct use to Foucault's work and using the concepts of "care of the self" and biopolitics is questioning and analyzing resistance and practices of freedom. Mainly, from the Foucault's courses at the College de France and the methodological tools found there, here I present a discussion about Gilles Deleuze's…

This article discusses changes with respect to university governance structures in six comprehensive universities in Europe.

Lee Bolman and Terrence Deal think of how much has changed since the era of innocence when they first published "A Simple But Powerful Power Simulation"--before the advent of cell phones, personal computers, the Internet, e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter.

Given the many older criticisms of Milgram's obedience study and the more damning recent criticisms based on analyses of materials available in the Milgram archives at Yale, this study has become a contentious classic. Yet, current social psychology textbooks present it as an uncontentious classic, with no coverage of the recent criticisms and…

Considering the constructs of teacher leadership, the author provides a practical starting point for systematically encouraging and developing teacher leaders using Danielson's framework for teaching.

The point of departure of this article is an apparent antinomy. On the one hand, there is the powerful argument in political theory on the emergence and consolidation of a post-political condition. On the other hand, research in international and comparative education demonstrates how conflicts and power asymmetries continue to characterize…

For this paper, I will focus on the technology components of the STEM curriculum. Technology in the…

Arizona's "Wild West," free-market education approach via school-choice policies reflects the expansion of neo-liberal reforms, which emphasize private provision and governance of public services once markets are established. Indeed, charter schools, tax credit programs for public (state) and private schools, inter-district open…

An important factor that may be missing from recent attempts to counter, resist, and/or reconceptualize the neoliberal framing of the early education process is the actions of children, particularly those that reinforce the neoliberal assemblage of schooling they learn through their interactions with their teacher in school. This article begins to…

With intersectional frameworks gaining in popularity within higher education scholarship, we explored the potential of intersectionality to produce nuanced understandings of college student identity without obscuring its mission to examine overlapping axes of power. This article highlights significant areas for consideration for qualitative…
