This paper theorises the ways in which non-binary gender is rendered invisible through binary Yes/No sexual consent education. Judith Butler's framework of gender intelligibility is drawn upon to consider the absenting of non-binary youth from consent education. We suggest that the undoing of the hegemonic colonial gender binary also be a project…

Gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) are crucial for creating inclusive and equitable educational environments in primary schools. This systematic literature review aimed to interpret and synthesize the findings of previous studies on GESI interventions and programs in primary schools in Tanzania, identified gaps in the knowledge, and…

Play is a highly valued pedagogy in early learning settings around the world. Supporters of play have emphasised the benefits of this approach in promoting children's development and learning and their alleged freedom to choose, explore, and follow their interests. Feminist research, however, has shown that play contexts can be key sites that…

Despite flourishing gender studies over the last decades, gender equality continues to reflect imbalance, with the dominance of gender binary thinking, lacking an emphasis on a more fluid approach where children themselves are active participants. The aim of this study was to explore young children's perceptions of gender roles and sexuality. The…

This article discusses the potential of street art to counter misrepresentations of Indigenous women and girls in Canadian mass media, where common tropes of being incompetent mothers or criminals, amongst others, are pervasive. In this article, I look at examples of street art that showcase Indigenous women as caring, empowered, and knowledgeable…

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly presented as a potential substitute for humans, including as research subjects. However, there is no scientific consensus on how closely these in silico clones can emulate survey respondents. While some defend the use of these "synthetic users," others point toward social biases in…

This study aimed to design and analyze activities that enable students to investigate the probabilities of compound events and the equiprobability bias by a perception-based design that foregrounds sample sets. Drawing on historical insights and prior research, we designed activities to guide students in exploring the probabilities of compound…

Critical quantitative methods provide opportunities for Queer Theory to challenge, re-define, and re-claim the historically privileged research tradition. In this paper, I begin by summarizing the various binaries that oppress research and individuality. I then engage with Queer Theory and my own intersectional positionality to propose a nonbinary…

Menstruation and menstrual stigma have recently attracted the attention of education policymakers in England. In 2019, the Department for Education (DfE) published new guidance on delivering relationships, sex and health education that included teaching about menstrual wellbeing and in 2020 made menstrual products freely available in all…

Women of Color have a variety of experiences within academia, many of which are marred by the interstices of racism, classism, sexism, and the hetero patriarchy that upholds the structure of white supremacy in higher education (Gay, 2004; Pena, 2022). However, there is a legacy of Women of Color who have created and continue to create collectives…

This design case presents my experiences, successes, and challenges, in the design and delivery of a six-week special topics course on culturally inclusive instructional design. The course was delivered synchronously with a diverse group of 15 individuals enrolled in the instructional design and technology degree program. The focus of the course…

In this article I venture the hypothesis that music confronts education with the possibility to think violence in ways that are both inherently educational and radically "affirmative." Beginning with a reflection on a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, which emphatically evokes the violence within the genesis of music, I then move in a…

This narrative-based study highlights how tenure at U.S.-based historically white universities normalizes anti-Black racism. Centering storytelling approaches, the article situates the author's positionality and critical race theory-informed methods. After clarifying anti-Blackness across higher education institutions, a non-binary Black…

Early childhood schoolbooks designed to teach children to read, have been shown not only to shape gendered identities in a limiting, binary format, but to lend the written word the appearance of unquestionable, and restrictive truth about the way the world is. Texts written for adults, too, may similarly limit what can be known, reining in the…

This paper describes the results of qualitative and exploratory research into the transition to and experiences of the working world of graduates from a Chilean technical-professional higher education institution, whose student body is mainly made up of first-generation higher education students. The study includes eight in-depth and six group…
