Political imagination has never been more important, yet it is very often foreclosed in conservative educational spaces. It's important to question the occlusion of political imagination from both science and education on a general level--something STEM-types are actively discouraged from thinking about. In order for education fields to progress…

Despite growing calls to develop data science students' ethical awareness and expand human-centered approaches to data science education, introductory courses in the field remain largely technical. A new interdisciplinary data science program aims to merge STEM and humanities perspectives starting at the very beginning of the data science…

This study explores how mobile and immobile academics enact research collaborations in Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). Modelled on Big Sciences and underpinned by human capital assumptions, CoEs aim to foster both local and international collaborations, driven by academic mobilities. Based on critical…

Narratives help situate arts and humanities--exploring the creation of artifacts as well as providing space for making sense of the world. Narratives can preserve the original context as well as recontextualize art in light of contemporary political and social issues. Personal, community, global, and universal narratives can make art more…

The digital humanities have developed in concert with online systems that increase the accessibility and speed of learning.

This article examines the power of special topoi to characterize the discourse of literary criticism, and through emphasis on rhetorical action, it sheds light on the limitations of topos analysis for characterizing research articles in disciplinary discourse more generally. Using an analytical approach drawn both from studies of topoi in…

A previous meta-analysis found that active learning has a positive impact on learning achievements for college students in STEM fields of study. However, no similar meta-analyses have been conducted in the humanities and social sciences. Because major dissimilarities may exist between different fields or domain of knowledge, there can be issues…

Outside of a specialist literature, the study of violence occupies a marginal position within comparative and international education scholarship. A key contributing factor is the absence of a holistic conceptual framework that can capture the nature, extent and causes of violence in education. The article proposes such a framework, by updating…

A precisely formulated research question is becoming increasingly important within the humanities. This applies not only to research funding applications, but also to articles, papers, and student theses. This article presents a tool allowing students to develop research questions on their own, which is open enough to allow for a wide variety of…

Drawing on the thinking behind the Humanities 20:20 initiative, this article explores why the humanities are so important in a balanced and broadly based primary curriculum, arguing that, well taught, they provide an essential basis for how children learn to become critical thinkers and active citizens. This does not just involve teaching history,…

The case outlines the school's multifaceted design choices, including the sequential steps and activities to develop and implement a…

In the current hierarchical system of higher education, regional universities in China face the dilemma of homogenization and marginalization.
