Bodies have everything to do with teaching and learning, yet are often overlooked or diminished as sites of meaning-making in educational contexts. The goal of this article is to foreground the body in teaching and learning, and identify the transformative potential that embodied pedagogy opens up. Rooted in intersectional critical theory and…

We investigated what students learnt about biodiversity, a broad and multi-dimensional concept, challenging to understand, following a visit to a nature reserve. Acknowledging the individual nature of informal learning, we explore Personal Meaning Maps (PMMs) coupled with semi-structured interviews to investigate learning among 13 scouts aged…

Theory is a core component in the teaching of many social sciences, including criminology-related programmes in higher education, but both students and lecturers can find it challenging. Given the growing popularity of criminology programmes, scholarship on the teaching and learning of criminological theory is increasingly important. This article…

Humanistic psychology is grounded in dialogic communication and existentialist phenomenology, involving a relational philosophy and experientialist methodology. Its relative neglect within listening research is canvased before exploring the praxis of Gestalt therapy -- a humanistic psychotherapy -- which models integration of philosophy, theory,…

Teaching and learning of any language are inherently rooted in politics and power relations. Language education wields a double-edge sword, promising empowerment, emancipation, and transformation on the one hand, while simultaneously becoming a precarious instrument for marginalization and oppression on the other. Consequently, the dominant…

Doing and teaching critical literacies (CL) is complex, unpredictable work. In this article, we explore an unexpected turning point, and "teachable moment", with postgraduate students in a South African university. We focus on a redesign task created to scaffold postgraduate students' developing understanding of critical literacy theory…

In this article, the authors share three moments of glow when restlessness, curiosity, and wonder punctuated their teaching with culturally and linguistically diverse migrant learners. The authors use these moments to sit with uncertainty and discomfort, feelings they consider crucial to adult learning and critical praxis. Each author's moment of…

This autoethnographic self-study explored how I, a hybrid preschool educator whose professional identity draws from both Japan and Iceland, transformed my understanding of love through praxis. The study's purpose was to better understand the form of love in my practice, which I have found deeply confusing. I aim to understand what love means to me…

Societal shifts increasingly demand that people work across social and geographic borders, often virtually, to solve complex problems in the areas of education, environment, healthcare, poverty, technology innovation and ethics, and more. This collaboration requires critical and emancipatory dialogue and problem-solving. This qualitative multiple…

Antifascists have developed action-oriented principles and practices for collective resistance to fascism. In this article, we discuss antifascism as "praxis," which is the nexus of theory and practice through collective reflection and action. Antifascist praxis can inform developmental science at individual and contextual levels of…

On archives and archival impressions, this essay extends archivalresearch to the elsewhere and otherwise. The essay asks, how do we reposition thecontents of archives so that we can position ourselves in relation to it otherwise? Itputs forward a theory of (decolonizing) archival impressions.

This study focuses on art classrooms as spaces where artistic expression and visual cultural images critically reflect social justice issues, such as refugees, migration, and U.S. imperialism. The authors propose critical refugee studies (CRS; Espiritu, 2014) and difficult knowledge (Pitt & Britzman, 2003) as useful theoretical lenses to teach…

Marked by the tireless labour and contributions of Black women, the Black feminist tradition has significantly influenced the field and practice of education, broadly conceived, in which pedagogy plays a vital part. Little scholarship, however, has explored the relationship between Black feminist thought's knowledge validation process and Black…

This study aimed to better understand how autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) differ in types of praxis errors made on the Florida Apraxia Battery Modified (FAB-M) and the potential relationships between praxis errors and social deficits in ASD. The ASD group made significantly more timing sequencing errors…

This paper goes beyond -- transcends -- "pedagogy as justice," recognizing that justice, particularly in these present times, may not be enough. Its wager is with "pedagogies of and for life"; pedagogies that plant and cultivate, that push and enable other modes of living, despite the capitalist-modern-colonial-racist system,…
