Background: Micro-credentials are increasingly considered a key mechanism through which to empower learners by enabling flexible upskilling and reskilling. Despite their apparent importance for higher education institutions (HEIs) and learners, empirical research is limited. More needs to be understood, particularly about the ways in which…

Science Recreation Workshops (SRW) are engaging activities intended to create scientific experiences for participants, who play with natural phenomena while they explore, discover, discuss, and learn about them. They take people into a first-hand scientific adventure. SRW's do not demand a lot of resources to develop, that is why SRW's groups can…

In this article, we 'think with' the theoretical concepts of flow, rupture, layering, and sampling to affectively attune to 'in-the-red frequencies' flowing across/with-in a New York City primary classroom--that is, alternative sonic frequencies that trouble and refuse hegemonic literacy practices. These hip-hop concepts theorise affect in…
