This study examines the intricate dynamics of racial gaslighting faced by women of color in higher education, highlighting how this form of gendered whiteness intertwines with race, gender, and power to marginalize and undermine their lived experiences. Using Critical Whiteness and Black Feminist Thought frameworks, this paper highlights the…

Youth-serving community-based educational non-profits support the myriad unmet needs of public school students in underfunded school districts. Through partnerships with public schools for their participating students and reliance on private philanthropy to operate, these organizations sit at the intersection of the public and private sectors.…

Educational gag policies and restrictive curriculum mandates have limited teachers' ability to engage students in critical literacy practices. These policies, which suppress discussions of race, power, and systemic inequality, pose challenges to educators committed to fostering critical inquiry and social consciousness. This study examines how…

Open educational resources (OERs) have transformed access to educational materials by promoting open licensing and cost-free distribution. However, despite their potential to democratize education, systemic inequities in knowledge production, digital infrastructure, and institutional policies persist, disproportionately affecting low-income and…

This paper aims to make a theoretical contribution to the field of student activism in relation to the school. In an age marked by ecological, economic and technological change, and where certainties based on Humanism and anthropocentricism continue to be eroded, this paper explores possibilities for reintegrating the school as meaningful to the…

Poland has undertaken a number of public diplomacy measures to build its credibility on the European and global stage. Initiating and supporting 'Polish studies' (research or teaching on Poland-related topics) at foreign universities is considered an increasingly important tool in the process of creating a positive image and increasing knowledge…

A case study is used to understand how Western international branch campuses (IBCs) in China represent themselves through web-based branding materials. Drawing on colonial discourse analysis and the theoretical framework of Whiteness as futurity, this study examined the case of Wenzhou-Kean University, a Sino-US cooperative institution to…

This article provides key considerations regarding the tensions within collaboratively constructing purposes to push for equity; complicating how equity is impacted by power, labor, and larger systems of oppression; and recommendations for how to better support students, student leaders, educational leaders, and ultimately the campus.

If centralising university services is regarded as operationally ineffective, why do managerialised universities continue to organise themselves this way? We investigate an occurrence of this paradox at a regional Australian university, where professional staff services were centralised for a period of 7 years. They were separated from academics…

Education systems are full of harmful violence of types often unrecognised or misunderstood by educators, education leaders, and bureaucrats. Educational violence harms a great number of innocent persons (those who, morally speaking, may not be justifiably harmed). Accordingly, this paper rejects educational violence used to achieve educational…

The focus of ethics in learning analytics (LA) frameworks and guidelines is predominantly on procedural elements of data management and accountability. Another, less represented focus is on the duty to act and LA as a moral practice. Data feminism as a critical theoretical approach to data science practices may offer LA research and practitioners…

As the English Higher Education (HE) system becomes characterised by centralised regulation, many professional services staff increasingly occupy significant positions sitting between traditional administrative roles, academia and management with responsibility for interpreting and implementing key policies. This study presents findings from a…

In dialogue with science education and learning sciences research, in this article we develop a disciplinary-specific view on youth and community agency for community-based technology education. Cultivating agency is a central principle in our design and empirical study of the Young People's Race, Power, and Technology Program (YPRPT), a program…

This study examines the role of adult facilitators in supporting student voice efforts for educational policy change. Using case study and Accidental Ethnography data, we explore the actions that adult facilitators take to support student voice efforts in policy spaces. Our findings include that adults (1) intentionally shift power to students,…

The last several decades have seen a growth in scholarship and application of culturally responsive and sustaining educational (CRSE) approaches in schools serving youth of color. A growing body of research has shown how CRSE serves as an effective strategy to engage students of color, combat pernicious stereotypes, and improve academic outcomes.…
