Almond, Charlotte – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
This essay explores the creativity and learning that can take place when students are given the opportunity to go beyond the GCSE set poems and create their own poetry anthologies.

Almond, Devon – Philosophical Studies in Education, 2020
Education optimally fulfills a significant role in creating a life worth living--"and living well." This education properly integrates the realms of hand, head, and heart to reveal a hidden wholeness that is amplified through the eudaimonia of personal meaning as reflected in one's work in the world. However, overly instrumental…

Almond, Devon – College and University, 2020
Across the nation, troves of college students disenroll prior to graduation; students who do graduate often leave campus still searching as if something is missing, inadequate, and deficient. Indeed, something is missing and unsustainable in this malaise. Drawing on Tia Brown McNair, "et al." (2016), who call for student-ready campus…

Janice Bland – Online Submission, 2023
Student language teachers exploring literary texts for language education mostly focus on "what" is written, and the opportunities that could arise for stimulating classroom discussions.
