In some European settings, bilingual education (BE) has received criticism for catering to the 'elite', due to it mainly being chosen by, or offered to, pupils from high socio-economic backgrounds, only marginally including pupils with a migrant background. Nevertheless, because of its focus on global citizenship, BE in Europe could also be used…

The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experiences of be(com)ing among faculty members who participated in educational development. It aims to contribute to our knowledge on be(com)ing, a portmanteau of becoming and being that emphasizes that these two processes are often interconnected. I generated data for this study using semi-…

Recently in Germany the question of gender-inclusive language has become another front in the culture wars. Headlines portray these linguistic innovations as disruptive and unnecessary while politicians across Germany have moved to ban or restrict certain types of inclusive language. In this research article, I analyze the representations of…

Students from refugee backgrounds (thereafter 'refugee students') are entering Australian universities in increasing numbers, often via university pathway programs (enabling programs), contributing to the superdiversity in higher education institutions. A growing body of literature acknowledges the academic and socio-cultural challenges faced by…

Health Science fields have unique needs, resources, priorities, and barriers when considering how to integrate research into the undergraduate experience. Many undergraduate research experiences (UREs) in science disciplines are course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) or apprenticeship experiences, but these may not be suitable for…

This study employs Emirbayer and Mische's concept of 'agency' as a theoretical tool to examine the impact of the subjective agency exhibited by 11 Chinese university teacher translators on the translation of rainbow works. The analysis examines the iterational, projective, and practical-evaluative dimensions of their agency, uncovering the…

In summer 2022, Agnes Scott College received a three-year grant from the Mellon Foundation for the Every Person By Name project. The initiative aimed to explore the college's history by uncovering under-told stories to promote lasting change for students, staff, and faculty. Using oral history methods and archival research, student researchers…

Neurodivergent individuals are present in a significant portion of the global population. Despite its prevalence, educational and organisational environments often fail to accommodate neurodivergent individuals, particularly in the workforce. However, pioneering companies have started integrating neurodiversity into their workforces, recognising…

The purpose of this study was to explore Early Years (EY) teachers' knowledge and perceptions about autism in Greece. An online questionnaire was completed by 276 respondents with experience in teaching children from 0 to 6 years old. The findings showed that EY teachers in Greece are aware of the main difficulties people with autism are likely to…

In this study, we draw on an analysis of publicly available information from university websites and Google Scholar to explore the qualifications, relevant experience, and scholarship of academics involved in postgraduate special/inclusive education courses in Australian universities. Overall, we found information on 148 academics employed at 23…

In this paper, I explore CLDD within the political background of disability, rooted in debates on SEND studies. Since the 1970s, policy reforms have prompted increased discussion around practices for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, these reforms have remained controversial and multidimensional across…

This study examined the associations between teachers' beliefs and behaviors related to inclusive education (IE) and their evaluations of social and academic competences in students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) -- important indicators of IE. Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), the research investigated how teachers' intentions…

This scoping review explores the educational experiences of refugee-background students (RBSs) within remote, rural and regional Australia. It synthesises literature on RBSs in these contexts to identify unique educational challenges. This review analyses relevant studies published between 2015 and 2024 to uncover themes at the intersection of…

Nigeria is committed to implementing inclusive education. Because special schools are few and inadequate, many parents enrol their children with special needs in nearby regular schools. Teachers must therefore be trained to provide learning opportunities for all students, regardless of their individual learning needs. An effective way of training…

As a discipline, biology has historically had low diversity in representation among its members. To combat this, we have implemented a team website assignment in our biology capstone course that prompted students to research a biologist who was marginalized during their career. The broader purpose of this nontraditional capstone course, which…
