However, for the past several years, they have been called upon to develop in an inclusive and socially responsible manner that does justice to the plurality of society. This has led to the emergence of diverse practices and projects around the world that are intended to…

This paper explores the extent to which critique in the educational sciences can be mechanized. This is the case when critique of pedagogical concepts and discourses is entirely determined by the structures and processes of the critique itself. If the process of critique functions independently of the specificity and concreteness of its object,…

Although widely accepted to be the capacity to exercise control in one's learning, there remains confusion about what exactly this means. Failure to reconcile contradictions has left the field resigned to pluralism, describing 'versions' of learner autonomy according to divergent theoretical orientations. However, each version is incomplete,…

The COVID-19 pandemic presented novel and heightened levels of uncertainty for educators. Contributing to a growing literature conceptualizing the role of uncertainty in organizational change, this article explores the changes in practice that teachers made during the pandemic as efforts to either mitigate or leverage different types of…

Led by CPED's reconceptualization of the Education Doctorate, EdD programs nationally continue to explore ways to re-envision the Dissertation-in-Practice (DiP) specifically for the development of Scholar-Practitioners. Even as work on innovative dissertation formats has accelerated, many, if not most, DiPs still resemble traditional five-chapter…

In this chapter, we reconcile vocationalist and humanist education by embracing pre-professional programs' humanizing potential. Inspired by Freire and hooks' critical praxes, we define "humanization" as facilitating mutual relationships and respect between people. We draw from our experiences as educators and clinical supervisors in…

Accounts detailing 'pedagogies of discomfort' argue that unsettling the positionalities of comfortable students affords a basis for interrogating injustice. By asking comfortable students to question their privilege, pedagogies of discomfort seek to move students toward critically informed action by problematising the normative assumptions that…

Drawing upon slow scholarship and autobiographical methods, this paper presents four vignettes constructed from virtual meetings across the span of several months. Although we had originally intended to write a more formal paper about the ways in which the reconceptualist movement connects to our own scholarship, the writing process became less…
