School autonomy has been and continues to be one of the most important education reform strategies around the world despite ambiguity about its theoretical and empirical effects on students learning.

This…

We focus on the privatisation of public schooling in Alberta, Canada and Northern England to highlight tensions between the…

Thompson, Greg; Mockler, Nicole; Hogan, Anna – European Educational Research Journal, 2022
This paper explores perceptions of work intensification around the world. Underpinning this analysis is C. Wright Mills' (1959) argument that many personal troubles are public issues, and the notion that a significant dimension of the privatisation of public education, a concern of public education advocates worldwide, is the ways in which school…

We apply these understandings to the Growing Success assessment and evaluation policy in Ontario, Canada, and in…

In order to fulfill their missions, research universities must maintain conditions and capacity for knowledge production and dissemination, while responding to the expectations of governments, other stakeholders, and/or markets. That universities succeed in this quest is vital, not only for their own future as organizations but also for the…

Cox, Rebecca D.; Sallee, Margaret W. – Journal of Higher Education, 2018
Community colleges in the United States and Canada operate within postsecondary environments that are being reshaped by neoliberal policymaking. As community colleges in both countries respond to the pressures of neoliberalism, their capacity to serve students already marginalized by their "nontraditional" status may be affected in…

Almeida, Shana; Kumalo, Siseko H. – Education as Change, 2018
The ways in which Africanisation and decolonisation in the South African academy have been framed and carried out have been called into question over the past several years, most notably in relation to modes of silencing and epistemic negation, which have been explicitly challenged through the student actions. In a similar vein, Canada's…
