This theoretical paper proposes to expand our understanding of 'confessions of racism' in the context of anti-racist education through the lens of 'affective governmentality'. Confessions of racism are admissions of racism or declarations of privilege that foreground self-criticism and self-purification. The notion of affective governmentality…

In this article, I explore the pedagogical function of #MeToo, highlighting what it might teach about gender-based mistreatment and mainstreamed feminism. I begin by reviewing linkages between adult education and social movements, then trace the development of #MeToo, drawing on both media and scholarly texts. Next, I apply the concepts of…

Social media platforms have transformed how students and educators "share" information about school experiences. In this paper, we translate Leah Plunkett's sharenting concept (a portmanteau of "share" and "parent") to address the phenomenon of "overposting" in education. Overposting (a portmanteau of…

This paper explores comedy as a "queer pedagogical form" that subverts problematic representational tropes of queerness pervading mainstream depictions of queer experience. Articulating 'form' less as a fixed arrangement of characters, images, objects, and ideas, and more as a kind of "formation" that positions these in dynamic…

School leadership programmes reinforce heteronormative expectations, and this rigidity extends into bk12 schools where risk heteronorms around professionalism become tools of oppression against LGBTQIA+ students and teachers.

This conceptual paper aims to discuss how to address the dangers emerging from scholars' proclamations of positionality and identity in debates on decolonisation in comparative education. The approach proposed engages with two ideas that were central to the work of French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy and were further developed by Cameroonian…

In this paper, we weave in and out of theory and narrative in order to consider the potential of disability and its relationship to knowledge construction. We consider theories to be stories that one can tell about the world. And these theories are enlivened by other stories that we tell about ourselves and the world around us. As disability…

Adults with disabilities face challenges during transition points in their lives, including while transitioning into and out of post-secondary education.

Educators carry self-constructed narratives about who they are as professionals. When they tell and retell versions of these stories to their students (and themselves), these stories become part of the curriculum. This article suggests that with the students, by examining stories "concealed" within educators' "stock" stories,…

Over the past decades, a neoliberal shift in educational policies has affected educational purposes and schooling practices worldwide and has reframed all of the features of education.
