Framed by the mantra of 'Building back Better' (BBB) the COVID-19 Pandemic has inspired myriad proposals to transform education systems for the future. We interrogate the phrase 'building back better', focusing on its origins and application within crisis narratives. We analyse responses to the pandemic published by influential global agencies…

Canada has a long history of outdoor education (OE) in sectors including summer camps, K-12, and post-secondary education (PSE).

Many assume that a person's right to education terminates with high school, and that higher education is a luxury addition. The conversation about education changes in palpable ways once we focus on higher education rather than the education we ordinarily think that citizens are due when they are children and teenagers. We see more talk about…

In May 2021, College Pulse asked undergraduate students about their educational experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey's last question asked students, "What does being successful mean to you?" One student's response was, "FINALLY - THIS was the question that should have been asked decades ago."
