This paper considers the relationship between education and hospitality in the specific context of moments of incivility in classrooms, with special attention to racial/white resentment. The authors reflect on the extent to which nurturing intellectual candor with interpretive charity (Callan, 2011) can be extended to incivility shaped by white…

Mathematical argumentation is generally thought to be the paradigm of cogent reasoning. The concept of mathematical proof thus seems to be associated with necessity and enforcement, but not with freedom; however, in various ways a reference to freedom is also needed to understand the phenomenon of mathematical proof, for example, to distinguish it…

The normative aim of childhood studies is to show that children are and should be recognized as active shapers of their lifeworlds. In this article, we discuss which concept can best be used to accomplish this. Our thesis is that the agency concept ubiquitous in childhood studies only inadequately advances the field's normative agenda. Mostly…

When children drop out of school, either temporarily or permanently, this poses a significant problem for both children and society. In the Netherlands, care farms offering care-education programs for school dropouts are emerging. While there is evidence for their effectiveness, models explaining how such outdoor interventions may facilitate…

Definitions of 'religious freedom' around schools' treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and asexual (LGBTIQA+) students have been regularly debated internationally, with little input from LGBTIQA+ students. Transformative theories of religious freedom around sex, gender and sexuality in education suggest religious…

We center and unpack the American Educational Research Association's (AERA) Commission on Research in Black Education's (CORIBE) research validity principle, which emphasizes that the highest priority must be placed on studies of: (A) African tradition (history, culture and language); (B) Hegemony (e.g. uses of schooling/socialization and…

Providing programs for diverse populations and strengthening communities in need has been a longtime focus of public libraries (Garmer, 2014). Early literacy services are one way that libraries support their communities, with a particular focus on children's programs (Grimes et al., 2013). Library storytime programs promote early literacy skills…

To a person familiar with both philosophy for and with children and the philosophy of liberation, that the two would fit nicely together would seem obvious. However, the literature on how philosophy for/with children (P4wC) can contribute to decolonization is scarce. Drawing on various philosopher-educators and the tradition of liberation…

This is the report of an investigating committee concerning the dissolution of the faculty senate at Spartanburg Community College in South Carolina. In April 2023, the SCC administration unilaterally abolished the faculty senate, an action it admitted taking to prevent the senate from voting that day to oppose the administration's imposition of a…

In European universities, teaching ethics has acquired special relevance with the Bologna Process and changes in curriculum. In Spain, the White Book of the Degree in Information and Documentation incorporates ethics as a specific competence, through the combination of ethical, social, and legal content, as a transversal competence.

As educational justice scholarship addressing racial oppression continues to name the role of the spirit, there is a need for Black and Brown Christian educators and researchers to locate ourselves as grounded in the epistemologies and pedagogies of Christ as our spiritual home. This paper brings together eight Black and Brown Christian educators…

Academic freedom means that both social studies educators and students have the opportunity to engage in intellectual debate without fear of censorship or retaliation. Academic freedom gives both social studies educators and students the right to express their views--in speech, writing, and/or through electronic communication without fear of…

Based on ethnographic fieldwork among six middle-class families in a Copenhagen housing cooperative, this article explores cultural ideologies of childhood, parenting, and individual freedom in Scandinavia as evoked in daily negotiations between parents and children. Combining language socialisation studies of family discourse and anthropological…

When does the establishment clause end and the free exercise clause begin for public school coaches? As public officials, sport coaches are subject to constitutional restrictions prohibiting the endorsement of religion, which may in turn infringe upon their rights as private citizens. In the case of Joseph A. Kennedy v. Bremerton School District…

Academic freedom and institutional autonomy are among the fundamental values of higher education. In Europe, they underpin the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), which was established in 1999, a decade after the launch of the profound changes in central and eastern Europe and slightly over two decades after the adoption of the Magna Charta…
