Hammersley, Martyn – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2021

McGee, Barrie S.; Williams, Jeanine L.; Armstrong, Sonya L.; Holschuh, Jodi P. – Journal of Developmental Education, 2021
"Remedial Trap." "Bridge to Nowhere." "Completion Divide." Such language used to describe the field of Developmental Education (DE), especially by those outside the field, is undeniably deficit oriented. In this manuscript, we initiate a dialog that critiques such portrayals of DE, particularly those that appear in…

Coffey, Simon – Language Learning Journal, 2022
This article reflects on the epistemological steamrolling that the 2021 Ofsted Curriculum Research Review (OCRR) accomplishes: in part, by the positioning of the problem and solution through highly selective cherry-picking (omitting key causal factors); in part, through the discursive move of acknowledging complexity before offering simple and…

This forum paper is based on a friendly and informative interview conducted with Professor Ann M. Johns.

Munday, Ian – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2009
This paper explores Stanley Cavell's notion of "passionate utterance", which acts as an extension of/departure from (we might read it as both) J. L. Austin's theory of the performative. Cavell argues that Austin having made the revolutionary discovery that truth claims in language are bound up with how words perform, then gets bogged by convention…

Wells, Gordon – Mind, Culture, and Activity, 2007
Discoursing, the use of language in interaction with others, plays a part in almost every human activity. Indeed, some have argued that it is discoursing that has made possible the cumulative development of culture over the course of our species' history. Whether or not that is correct, there can be no question that the ability, with the aid of…

Claims that everyday discourse is in fact richly metaphorical and that, through the operation of metaphor, people fictionalize as they talk.

How do we become the people we are? Humanist common sense proposes that people are born with a rational "self."
