Both 'collegiality' and 'distributed leadership' have, as terms, occasioned a good deal of debate. Conceptually elastic, they are often used interchangeably, or not appreciated as embodying a range of leadership styles and relationships. Spurred by an unanswered query from a research project, this theoretical article attempts to clarify what the…

Science communication can share liberatory ideas or reproduce dominant narratives, perpetuating marginalization (Freire, 2018). Currently, science communication efforts tend to advantage privileged and dominant groups of people (e.g., white, male, cis, heterosexual, non-disabled, neurotypical, affluent) (Canfield & Menezes, 2020; Medin &…

Social justice and health equity are foundational to community health nursing. Arts-based pedagogy has learning and reflexive value for community and population health education within nursing and health professions curricula. Art has been increasingly used in health care and in promoting health, including in nursing education. However, research…

Community College Written Communication 1 (ENC) instructors encounter complex challenges when attempting to teach writing skills to diverse student populations. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to explore the perceptions of full-time community college ENC faculty and determine the instructional strategies they use to…

The decolonization of applied linguistics is a critique of applied linguistics (see Phillipson, 1999; Phipps, 2018 and Pennycook & Makoni, 2020). We argue for a shift toward the Global South, in particular Africa, and for the importance of paying attention to 'race' as a significant category of analysis in applied linguistics in Africa. Three…

In the so-called digital culture, there is a constant presence of radical transformations on the cognitive and affective dimensions of the relations established among teachers and students. Upon this ubiquitous accessibility of information, the very historical and hierarchically verticalized relation between teachers and students has been…

This autoethnographic study uses personal memoirs to explore the author's allyship and advocacy efforts throughout the past 24 years in the language teaching profession. Through the process of self-reflexivity and introspection, "turning points" are investigated to understand more about what influences the actions and behaviors of…

Scholars and students of comparative education routinely, and often reflexively, categorize places with labels that have complex and problematic histories, connotations and associations. Both comparative education classrooms and scholarship will benefit from reflecting on the dynamics of labeling places. We seek to provide a framework for…

Various metaphors are used in the literature and media to refer to the careers and experiences of women academics. In the wake of the fascinating debate in the literature surrounding the adequacy of these expressions, considerable effort has been devoted to the pursuit of 'the ideal metaphor': one that is comprehensible, inclusive, intersectional,…

This article argues that it is necessary to fight for a radical and immediate restructuring of our educational systems. Young people are currently being prepared for a future that does not exist, and we are lying to them and to ourselves by pretending that we can address the climate and ecological emergency from within existing educational and…

Followership is more than just a topic to be tacked on to the body of a leadership program; it fundamentally alters the way students engage with leadership theory and practice. In this chapter, the authors draw on 15 years of experience supporting, modifying, and delivering followership training within leadership programs to provide the unique…

International large-scale assessments like the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competences (PIAAC) assess literacy and numeracy proficiency as abstract competences, assuming they are cognitive skills and therefore objectively and universally measurable. However, research into how people's lives are affected by notions of…

As the professoriate grows increasingly diverse and contingent, the co-teaching relationship must be examined. There are often salient power differentials between and among co-teachers associated with their position in the academic hierarchy and their social identities. This related power can affect the co-teaching professional relationship,…

Michael Hand argues in his article 'Against autonomy as an educational aim' that the project of erecting autonomy as an educational aim is wrongheaded. I argue that his argument fails. I discuss two lines of his argument that deal with different senses of autonomy. The first line of argument trades on an ambiguity. As soon as we disambiguate, we…

This paper explores peer interactions in an elementary mathematics classroom (ages 9-10) where the teacher intentionally shared authority with her students and supported them in learning to share authority with one another. Authors examine how students shifted between shared, concentrated, and contested social and intellectual authority relations…
