Diversity courses are integral to higher leisure education curricula and united by the following assumptions: (a) recreation programs involve encounters with "different" groups of people and (b) future professionals require a specialized set of knowledge and skills in order to manage those interactions.

Ruth, Damian – New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, 2020
This article contrasts specific aspects of indigenous world views and wisdom on the one hand with specific themes in capitalism, colonisation, corporate interests, technology and education, on the other and argues that there is a fundamental clash of values between them.

Kotsonis, Alkis – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2021
My aim in this paper is to draw the attention of educational theorists to the pedagogical arguments that Plato puts forward in his account of imperfect political systems ("Republic," VIII and IX)--viz. his discussion of timocracy, oligarchy, democracy and tyranny. I present Plato's account of political systems and argue that the…

Irwin, Lauren N.; Foste, Zak – Review of Higher Education, 2021
We argue that traditional service-learning programs commodify People of Color for the benefit of white people and white-serving institutions. First, we use racial capitalism, white normativity, and race frames to deconstruct service-learning programs. We offer three critiques of what we term "white-serving service-learning": (1) race and…

Pais, Alexandre – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2019
In my previous work, I criticised studies within the sociopolitical turn for disavowing a comprehension of schools as places of capitalist production. Here, I extend this critique to what is being flagged as a new turn in educational research. I am referring to biosocial research, particularly in the way it is coupled with new materialist and more…

David I. Backer; Esther Cyna – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2025
In this paper, we put forth a framework called Critical School Finance, articulating the framework itself and then applying it to school facilities finance. First, we go back to first principles and discuss what 'critical' denotes, revisiting critical theorist Max Horkheimer's seminal essay 'Traditional vs. Critical Theory.' Second, we offer five…

Two of the studies relate to the English HE sector while one is a study of the Israeli system. The articles were selected because they are indicative of one…

Scott-Brown, Sophie – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2022
The first British New Left formed in response to a crisis in international and British socialism.

Garton-Gundling, Kyle – Issues in Interdisciplinary Studies, 2022

In this article, I focus on the relation between economics, which is dominated by views that one could characterize as "pro-capitalist," and English, which is dominated by views that one could characterize as…
