This is a small-scale qualitative study of participants who self-reported as being confident in spotting digital misinformation and the data was analysed…

Examining the still underexplored elements in educational theorist Paulo Freire's work, this essay begins from his claim that problem-posing pedagogy works as a "kind of psychoanalysis." Situating Freire between the critical philosophical and psychoanalytic traditions, Alex Armonda offers a new reading of the problem-posing dialectic,…

This article extends current debates in Education for Peacebuilding (EfP) in conflict settings. It presents and discusses two paradoxes I have observed when examining EfP literature and engaging in conversations with EfP scholars: 'the paradox of liberalism' and 'the paradox of decoloniality'. I unpack these two paradoxes by engaging in conceptual…

Prior studies conducted on college students' perceptions of their academic control have demonstrated that academic attributions are malleable and that low levels of perceived control leading to academic failure can be mitigated by employing an Attributional Retraining (AR) intervention designed to modify maladaptive attributions. This study…

Much of the extant literature regarding middle grades teachers centers on interventions to improve the quality or effectiveness of their teaching: studies that identify a particular instructional strategy, curricular support, or disposition, and conclude with recommendations that teachers improve their practice by adopting said thing. In contrast,…

Threaded with racialized and gendered pathologies, Black folx wrestle with a normative gaze that understands them as irrational, unintelligent, and deserving of constant surveillance. In this way, Black folx are expected to model postures of whiteness that agree with the wardrobe of anti-Blackness. In this manuscript, we take up the pedagogical…

Identities undergo a series of influences, shifts, and dialogic constructions; this is especially true throughout adolescence and in relation to political and social situations within communities. A review of identity development literature coupled with research on multimodal creative expression reveals the ways in which identity is constructed…

This study examines how three teachers working at a South Central high school teach critically about race and place. While building on the "spatial turn" in social science, the article draws on Critical Race Spatial Analysis to advance literature at the intersection of race, place, and pedagogy. Additionally, the article utilizes…

Purpose: Adult student identities within EAL (English as an Additional Language) classrooms have often been positioned as static, homogenised and exoticised within scholarly literature. Within such positioning, teachers have embraced pedagogical practices which classify students by country of origin and represent student identities within binaries…

Abolitionist dreamers have called for justice-oriented teachers to teach K-12 students with marginalized identities through methods of critical and culturally responsive/sustaining pedagogies (Freire, 1970/2018; Gay, 2018; Ladson-Billings, 1995/2021; Paris & Alim, 2014); acts of love, care, hope, and healing (Ginwright, 2016; Love, 2019); and…

With neoliberal policy central to the many challenges faced within the education system including an increasing gap between rich and poor (Reay, 2017; Giroux, 2014), this article explores how an Education Studies programme, drawing on the principles of critical pedagogy, can help students to better understand and interrogate neoliberalism and its…

The article is principally written for adult educators. It models an auto-ethnographic approach situating this within a critical pedagogic orientation. As an adult educator working in the Republic of Ireland, I draw from two instances in my own life that helped me to re-think my racialised identity. By reflecting on discomforts in terms of my own…

It redefines student success to include an understanding of positionality, macro social structures, and agency. Each class…
