The objective of this article is to make a didactic proposal based on cultural studies for various university courses. The project addresses three axes: knowledge through literature, creation through historical and political events, and innovation through forms of artistic expression. In this study, history and politics are addressed as teaching…

Although English education is a topic of huge concern in TESOL research, the issue of teaching English through a second language to linguistic minority students in EFL contexts is often overlooked. The teaching of English in such a circumstance can be labeled as a form of "double subtractive education." This article explores and provides…

Just over a decade on from a spike of interest in Jacques Rancière's writing within educational philosophy and theory, I revisit his interventions on democracy and education to make the case for (re)engaging with Rancière's writing "now" to address important questions about contemporary education policy, the role of schools in democratic…

Patriotism is controversial in moral education across contexts. In China, patriotism is highly politicised by the government and heavily promoted in education. In the last few decades, the moralisation of patriotism, which refers here to the framing of patriotism as a virtue, has become the focus of teaching patriotism in China. This paper…

This paper reflects on tensions and challenges in encouraging and enabling students to foreground their personal emotional material in the learning process, while this process itself remains embedded in the neoliberal subjectivities of the university, wider social contexts and the individual selves. We explore our teaching on a final year…

Knife crime in the UK is on the increase, prompting an emphasis in education policy on the role of secondary schools in addressing gang violence. Very little is known, however, about how teachers in secondary schools experience this new role.

Modernism and postmodernism are two opposed approaches that are directly related to how each human mind sees and perceives the world and how to make it better.

The optical lantern projector was first introduced as a teaching aid into schools all over the world at the turn of the twentieth century. Because slides were expensive, special slide lending services played an important role in supplying schools with images they could project. Existing studies on the use of this new medium in education have…

In this inquiry, I explore, expose, and extrapolate upon sociopolitical and environmental absurdism as an environmental academic and educator based in Alberta, Canada--a well-known, and somewhat infamous, centre of oil and gas production and energy development in general. Moving beyond Alberta as a catalytic example, I introduce and discuss…

This study explored the experiences of educators interested in sociocritical approaches to renewable energy education in the energy focused and politically charged province of Alberta and other regions of Canada. A generic qualitative methodology was enacted through semi-structured interviews to better understand the challenges that they face,…

Formal coach education, such as courses experienced by coaches, is part of a wider education system, constructed by policy developers, course designers and coach educators.

This article identifies the oscillation of focus from victimhood to confidence in state nationalism and patriotic education…
