Anke Schwittay – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2025
How can we teach critical hope, amidst contemporary challenges that seem intractable, within neoliberal educational institutions that work to foreclose transformative pedagogies and through academic critique that can result in cynicism and disillusionment among students? Here, I draw on the writings of Paolo Freire, J.K. Gibson-Graham and Sarah…

Christine Daniels – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Critical praxis is an important means of increasing educators' critical consciousness. Culture circles are one avenue for educators to engage in a critical praxis, to dialogue, listen, reflect, and develop direct action steps. Both critical consciousness (Freire) and an ethic of care (Noddings) are essential and require an ongoing critical praxis.…

Payne, Phillip G. – Journal of Environmental Education, 2020
Northern theories like "new materialism" and "posthumanism" are, increasingly, influential in the global productions of knowledge in environmental education (EE). In this latest discursive phase of textualising EE, the conceptual mash of "new/post" idea(lism)s is easily identified, but not critically examined, as is…

Regelski, Thomas A. – Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, 2020
The Tractate was written following the first meeting of leading music education scholars in Buffalo. It was not, however intended as a scholarly essay. Rather, it was a declaration of assorted, numerous issues the next few meetings of founding MayDay Group members could engage with in organizing efforts at creating an organization predicated on…

While the importance of inclusive approaches to research has been identified, much childhood research is still done 'to' not 'with' young children, with research focusing on the experiences of children who experience disability commonly involving data from parents/families/practitioners, rather than from children themselves. In this article, we…

Maudlin, Julie Garlen; Sandlin, Jennifer A. – Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, 2015
As Miller (1999) explained, "it is increasingly important for educators to take seriously the processes by which media texts are produced and disseminated, and to understand the ways in which media images and constructions pervade all our lives" (p. 234). Taking popular culture seriously means making a purposeful commitment to bring…

Paris, Django – International Journal of Multicultural Education, 2012
The title of this article comes from a poster in Pedro's Arizona classroom. The poster read, "The only violence in schools should be the kind you read about in history classes. Be smart. Don't become history." This message became increasingly salient to me while investigating Pedro's engagement with literacy. Using critical theory and…

Anderson-Nathe, Ben; Gringeri, Christina; Wahab, Stephanie – Journal of Social Work Education, 2013
Despite the congruence between critical feminist values and the cardinal values of the social work profession, feminist research in social work has lagged behind its feminist cousins in the social sciences, particularly in terms of critical uses of theory, reflexivity, and the troubling of binaries. This article presents as praxis our reflections…
