Bringing together Chadwick's (2020, 2021) posthuman voice analytics with interdisciplinary voice studies, I turn ethnographic ears to the voice-as-vocalised by attuning to its materialities and…

In California and other states, neo-Marxist ideologues are using "ethnic studies" as a Trojan horse to indoctrinate students in a divisive ideology.

I propose and argue for an account of humility in "Zhuangzi," which I call perspectival humility. In the opening of the article, I will present a view of humility found in pre-Qin Confucian texts; then, I will explain the idea of Zhuangist humility, which provides a contrast to Confucian humility.

Educational researchers are increasingly striving on the edge of possibility to re-imagine and realise the future. Activist scholarship requires appropriate philosophical and theoretical bases, what Stetsenko refers to as 'dangerous' -- useful in the struggle for a better world. How might praxis, agency and learning be charged with transgressive…

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the ways that early childhood teachers were "making waves" as they fostered equitable classrooms through multicultural picturebooks.
