Authority is a central issue for teachers and refers to the leadership relationship between teachers and pupils for the purpose of initiating learning.

Civil engineering students need to engage with diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) so they can understand the differential impacts of engineering on…

Dealing with controversy is highlighted in policy documents as a cornerstone of democracy and education.
