Abraham P. DeLeon – Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, 2024
In this article, the author animates a different kind of telling and knowing for critical scholarship. Recognizing an unknowable reality through a journey to a mythical past, the author imagines an "ontology of the serpent," a radical interdisciplinary, incantation for the future. This sorcerous evocation re-animates ancient mythical…

Joel White – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2025
The present article continues my work in logomachy and the philosophy of education. It turns to Bernard Stiegler's concept of the 'idiotext' as the means of terming what I have previously called 'particular sets of sense'. The gambit of the article is that 'intropy' (uncertainty provoked by informational complexity) provides a very useful concept…

Peter Cole – in education, 2024
There is an urgency for compelling new narratives of ecological survival that draw on Indigenous and 'othered' millennial intelligences and agencies. With a focus on the lifegivingness and sacredness of water, this paper is a call for collective inter-cultural cross-species oral-performative, recuperative conversations for re-learning to care for…

Annie Isabel Fukushima; Tanjerine Vei – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
To teach about race is to recognize how there are communities whose worlds are shaped by violence, death, and resurrection, such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Emmett Till, George Floyd, and the many unnamed. Resurrection invokes the zombie figure. Zombies are iconic, and as implemented in an interdisciplinary course, a means to foster…

Martina Blecic – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
In this paper I suggest a pragmatic model for the notion of 'information' used in molecular biology in the description of protein synthesis. Discarding any ontological commitments of the term 'information', I propose a view of information based on an analogy with communication. This view could at least supplement the existing information-metaphor…

Sarah Urquhart – Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 2024
Ecologically, lichen plays a significant role in the formation of flourishing ecosystems by breaking apart rock formations using small fungal threads to form fertile soil which supports a growing complexity/diversity of life. This essay uses lichen as a metaphor to describe fossilized constructs (colonial epistemologies and ontologies,…

Pinyan Lin; Steven J. Courtney; Paul Armstrong; Amanda McKay – Oxford Review of Education, 2025
In China, formal school groupings known as 'education collectives' have become one of the most common forms of school-to-school collaboration, promoted by policymakers to narrow the achievement gap between schools and optimise resource allocation. Previous research has focused on the purposes and achievements of education collectives rather than…

Kevin King – English in Education, 2025
This paper provides educators a foothold in the tricky terrain of metaphor, its theoretical underpinnings and pedagogical possibilities. Metaphor provides us with a means of comprehending domains of experience that do not have a preconceptual structure of their own. Conceptual metaphors permit mental imagery from sensorimotor domains to hold sway…

Steve Daniel Przymus – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
How we talk about bilingualism has an effect on how others think about bilingual individuals, and in turn, how "active bilingual learners/users of English" (ABLE) students are assessed and taught in schools. I use a transdisciplinary approach of bridging social semiotics, applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, and cognitive linguistics…

John I. Liontas – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2024
Idiomatics--the scientific study of idiomatic language and figurative language--is a pervasive theme in global literature, yet its precise terminology often lacks clear definition. This article addresses this challenge directly by delving into the etymology, significance, and universality of idiomatics. It emphasizes the pivotal role of idiomatics…

Kathleen Taylor – New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, 2024
The expanding field of affective neuroscience is redefining the role of emotions in cognition, reasoning, and judgment. This contradicts long-standing assumptions about cognition that consider emotions antithetical to learning. Emotions arose early in human brain development as essential to survival by directing the embodied brain toward…

Alexia Barrable – International Journal of Early Childhood Environmental Education, 2024
Several concepts exist to explain the human-nature relationship, including nature connection. This paper offers a reconceptualisation of the human-nature bond, based on the infant-parent bond and attachment theory. As such, this paper draws upon research on attachment theory and environmental psychology to draw parallels between the two. Initially…

Margo Gottlieb – Region 19 Comprehensive Center, 2024
This framework from the Region 19 Comprehensive Center is an educational tool that stimulates thinking about what we teach and how we teach in relation to who we teach. The organizing frame is the five petals, or facets, of the hibiscus flower. Each facet pertains to a different aspect of linguistic and cultural sustainability and is designed to…

Isaac Burt; Luis A. Tosado II – Professional School Counseling, 2024
Comic book characters (CBCs) provide an escapism from reality while still confronting real issues. However, for Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) there is a lack of characters that look, talk, and think like them. Black Panther is an example of a character more inclusive of BIPOC populations, especially Black males. What…
