Race theories generate method-making and onto-epistemological connections central to inquiry. In this article, the authors share a conversation that created methodological openings about what constitutes 'racially just' in this particular moment of qualitative research. Is the call for 'racially just' a form of disruption or rupture? Is it a logic…

Identity shapes how people make sense of the world and their experiences, including their interactions with other people. Although bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism (BDSM) have been examined through a range of lenses, little research has explored the lived experiences and identity navigation of women who are both…

Philosophers of education have written about the moral, ethical, racial, and gendered dimensions of the hidden curriculum of what we eat, who we eat with, and the significance afforded this moment of the school day. To this body of literature, we add the observation that female bodies were positioned by Jean Jacques Rousseau as necessary food for…

Traditional MPA programs that deliver public affairs education often use gender blind pedagogies. Gender blind pedagogies maintain that organizational practices and decision-making processes are gender neutral and have similar outcomes to both men and women who engage in public service. Gender neutral assumptions in PA education perpetuate gender…

Having experienced exclusion from graduate programs and stereotyping related to their academic performance in the past, Black women graduate students (BWGS) continue to experience challenges and barriers in higher education settings. However, social media environments are spaces where BWGS can disrupt false narratives purported about Black…

We examine a Twitter attack against our phEmaterialist pedagogy during a UK-wide COVID-19 lockdown. We explore how trolls swarmed together in a collective mocking and ridiculing of images of colorful Play-doh genital models posted as part of a Master's module we teach. The session explored "clitoral validity" as a feminist pedagogical…

Novel forms of social media created 'by-and-for' women offer potentially new ways of communicating and constructing sex education. In this paper, we consider how Instagram is being used by sex educators to deploy discourses of resistance and erotics to educate about sex. Our method consisted of a combined critical discourse (CDA) and content…

This paper focuses on an intersectional feminism approach to writing assignments in which students served as co-creators of knowledge engaged in the development of an open-access book titled "Motivation in Learning, Training, and Development: A Collection of Essays," while enrolled in the "Principles of Learner Motivation"…

By using the feminist imaginary as a pedagogical tool for resistance and change, an experience of activism within the university context in Naples, Italy is explored. The article focuses on the potential transformative power of art as catalysis for deeper level emotional and spiritual learning transformation. The aim is trying to inspire critical…

Special educators are increasingly drawing from intersectionality and Black feminist theory to make sense of the disproportionate deleterious outcomes experienced by racialized students labeled with disabilities. While intersectionality gains a stronger hold in special education discourse, agencies like the Florida Department of Education are…

In 2019 Ofsted introduced cultural capital (CC) into the Early Years Inspection Handbook and defined it as 'essential knowledge' related to 'educated citizenship'. This paper investigates Ofsted's use of CC to critically examine the potential implications for early years work. Due to the feminised nature of early years work, a critical feminist…

In this paper, I use posthumanism and autotheory to materialize the gendered, racialized and sexualized hair/her/stories of British-Muslim schoolgirls in my study. As an act of feminist indiscipline and a feminist transdisciplinary innovative practice, I entangle with those affective, material, embodied and embedded encounters and stories that…

In reckoning with anti-Blackness and white hegemony in STEM, this study recommits to critical feminist orientations and explores alternative engagements with STEM education that center "matters of care" where learners are encouraged to build upon their existing values of family and collectivism to reinvigorate rather than disrupt…

There are histories describing in detail the development of early childhood education (ECE) around the world, yet not enough is known about this in the Middle East and the information on the origins of ECE in Iran is scarce and fragmentary. This article is the first of its kind to present an overview of the main developments rendering possible the…

This paper extends Critical Race Feminista Methodological (CRFM) approaches by contending that "convivencias" -- the coexistence necessary for creating relationships in the field -- are an integral part of engaging research collaborators within educational historical research. Drawing on oral histories with Chicana/o librarians, personal…
