We explore privilege and its systemic intertwining with management education curricula. We take the view that "privilege as power and control" is intimately bound up with shareholder primacy as a foundation of mainstream management education (Lund Dean & Forray, 2021). In an attempt to tackle this, we provide a single case study of…

Outdoor physical activities and sports are growing in popularity: number of practitioners and professionals are increasing and number of active sport tourism businesses has multiplied.

This article addresses how 'powerful' curriculum theory might be constructed from the perspective of the German "Didaktik" tradition--highly compatible with Schwab's the Practical.

Increasing diversity and broadening participation in engineering programs has been a persistent challenge due to various factors.

For decades, scholars have advocated for critical perspectives in Physical Education (PE), encouraging more creative and inclusive ways of thinking about and doing PE.

Through the lens of contrasting curriculum cultures, the author considers the evolution of Irish curriculum policy and reform.

To do this, it takes an assemblage approach to policy analysis, understanding policies as constantly…
