The latest buzz word within the intersecting terrain of postcolonial pedagogy and social and applied epistemology seems to be the notion of 'reparation' -- or, to be more precise, reparation pertaining to past and ongoing epistemic injustice and harm.

When cross-examining witnesses, lawyers will sometimes use complex questions to "trip-up" witnesses and thus cast doubt on their testimony. Extending prior research, the present study showed that multifaceted test questions (which contain both a true and false proposition) reduced accuracy for both misled and control participants but had…

Teaching poetry presents difficulties of various kinds, and these can be illustrative of wider curricular and pedagogical challenges. This paper considers questions of knowledge and remembrance as they arise in two poems--Paul Celan's "Todesfuge" and Seamus Heaney's 'Mid-Term Break'--placing these in relation to Jean-François Lyotard's…

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) defines itself as an inclusive field of study, and scholars have long lauded its ability to engage academics from each and every discipline.

Unfortunately, not all early childhood preservice teachers (PSTs) have positive attitudes toward mathematics and, as a group, report one of the highest levels of mathematics anxiety (Bates, A. B.,…

Traditional authentic assessment tasks are frequently tied to future work and enmeshed in neoliberal and capitalist visions of education. We advocate an alternative approach where authenticity signifies meaningful learning outside the confines of the classroom to promote deep learning that 'sticks'. We proffer an understanding of "assessment…
