Hines, Sally – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2020
Counting the Cost of Difference' replies to Alice Sullivan's piece on gender auditing in the UK Census.

Drawing on critical race theory as applied to pedagogical spaces…

DePalma, Renee; Atkinson, Elizabeth – Teaching and Teacher Education: An International Journal of Research and Studies, 2010
Concern for school-based homophobia is increasing, yet there is a tendency to focus on individual incidents of homophobic bullying rather than the cultural and institutional factors supporting them. We analyse ways in which institutional heteronormativity operates in primary schools and report results from our research in UK schools that…

Varney, Joan – Journal of LGBT Youth, 2008
This article explores how the tensions that grow out of being a researcher in my community of queer Asian Americans lead to the formulation of a different kind of ethnographic approach.

Court, Marian – Gender and Education, 2007
In this article, prevailing professional, business and managerial discourses of team leadership are "troubled" by some feminist critiques and analyses of collectivity and gendered discursive relations of power.
