Washbourne, Kelly; Liu, Yingmei – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2023
In academic environments ruled by managerialist philosophies, learning as doing, as outcomes, prevails. This work complicates the equation by taking up learning as becoming.

Amarel, Toni L.; Wickstrom, Megan H. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
What tales would students tell about their mathematical experiences? Are they stories of triumph, boredom, despair, exhilaration, or, perhaps, all of these emotions? How do teachers access these stories to understand students' experiences and build from them? In this article, the authors describe a task, The Math Metaphor, and how it was used in a…

Kaustavi Sarkar – Journal of Dance Education, 2024
The pandemic has forced Indian dance communities to pivot to online mediums. I investigate pandemic-induced shifts in two ways. I theorize through "Chhapaka" (a sling-shot movement involving oppositions of footwork and torso articulations) of my dancing Odissi (an eastern Indian traditional form) body, providing an embodied metaphor of…

Uchida, Minami; Cavanagh, Michael; Moloney, Robyn – Educational Review, 2021

Olga Elizabeth Minchala Buri – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The paradigm of "Buen Vivir" (Good Living) in education turns on the educational purpose regarding the transformation of the world. This autoethnography, which draws from "transnationalism theory" (Vertovec, 2009) and "transnational academic mobility" (Kim, 2010), explores how my critical self-examination of…

Sarah Crystal Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Dual enrollment has become an embedded aspect of our writing programs yet is still an under-researched area within rhetoric and composition. One reason for this research gap is that many DE students experience their FYC courses on secondary campuses, liminal spaces that are more difficult to access for research. DE students within these spaces…

McMahon, Samantha; Stacey, Meghan; Harwood, Valerie; Labib, Nada; Wong, Alexandra; Daniels-Mayes, Sheelagh – Critical Studies in Education, 2023
In both academic and policy spaces, learning is often cast as lifelong, dynamic, constructive and in particular, agentic. Despite this focus students' voices are rarely privileged in these spaces -- especially in policy. We respond to this oversight by deploying Foucault's theories of knowledge to explore how students understand themselves as…

Ana María Restrepo-Sáenz; Emmanuel Neisa Chateauneuf – Journal on Education in Emergencies, 2023
No one was prepared when COVID-19 hit.
