And, even fewer of those studies unpack how their pedagogical approaches further complicate the…

Student-teacher relationships have been largely explored in literature from the perspective of successful relationships, i.e., what constitutes a successful relationship and how teachers build them. However, in moments of student defiance, resistance or pushback, how do teachers react? When teachers recount such moments, is the narrative one…

Care has received relatively little attention in higher education (HE) literature. However, literature alluding to care reveals contrasting perspectives.

This contextualization is designed to contribute to the…

Overlaps between contemporary artistic and pedagogical practices have become commonplace in debates and publications in various fields: from curating and museum studies to art education.
