In this essay, I begin by situating Burna Boy's song "Monsters You Made" within a larger context of music as a rebellious form of resistance while connecting its significance with the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria. Then, I discuss anti-Blackness within colonial education in Nigeria, broadening the global conversation around BLM to include…

Temperament and externalizing problems are closely linked, but research on how they codevelop across adolescence remains sparse and equivocal. Reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) provides a useful framework for understanding temperament and externalizing problems associations. During adolescence, oppositional problems are posited to be linked…

Who or what might be the illegitimate offspring of the "bad girl" as a figure for post-qualitative research? I consider the witch as a figure of posthuman efficacy and affective relationality, drawing on recent invocations of witchcraft and divination as theoretic practice. The witch might help post-qualitative methodology fulfil its own…

Our essay provides a provocation supporting the special issue of the "International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education's" titled "Why antiracism and critical whiteness now?" As editors, we circulated its call knowing that the conditions of our work in race and whiteness studies had changed. In our essay, we work…

Ways of knowing in social sciences and educational research are sculpted by normative knowing of ways that are rooted in prescriptive histories of positivist and qualitative traditions. In this paper, by subscribing to what St. Pierre and Lather initiated as the "postqualitative movement", we turn from tradition to re-search research…

Despite the evidence supporting reciprocal peer observation (RPO) for teacher professional development, extant literature has reported that teacher resistance is a barrier to its implementation. Few studies have analysed the variables that moderate resistance to RPO. Based on data from 394 in-service teachers who participated in an RPO…

While women entering medical school are faced with a patriarchal system, they also enter into a community with other women and the potential for "resistance." The purpose of this study is to use the theory of temporal agency to explore how first-year medical students who identify as women draw upon past, future, and present agency to…

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…

What is an ethical instructional goal for students who position themselves in opposition to the key tenets of a discipline they are required to learn? Is it fair to judge students unfavorably in a circumstance where their ideological disagreements with course materials bump up against their abilities to take seriously these materials, let alone…

As trainees resist social harm and injustice in medicine, they must navigate the tension between pushing too hard and risking their reputation, or not enough and risking no change at all. We explore the discernment process by examining what trainees attend to moments before and while they are resisting to understand how they manage this tension.…

This study was the first to test both the independent and additive effects of change-detection prompts and warnings about potential discrepancies between an event and post-event information on susceptibility to misinformation. Participants (N = 239) viewed a mock crime video, read a post-event narrative containing misinformation, and completed a…

This study examines college access among undocumented students in Elkhart County, Indiana to understand how institutional actors are responding to revelations of their legal status. Using data from 39 life history interviews, we demonstrate how undocumented students' transition to college can hinge on the extent to which students are deemed…

In this paper we respond to this special issue's critical focus on mental health in education by considering the medicalised and homogenising approaches to the mental health of young people and the severely negative consequences for young people. Our argument is underpinned by the need to destabilise the hegemony of the current dominant discourses…

Previous Online Learning (OL) studies have provided significant insights into why students would adopt or use OL but far less attention has been directed towards understanding why they would reject or resist continuing to use OL. The capability of OL to simulate the learning process to be equivalent to classroom learning remains an unresolved…

Enlightened by a student teaching presentation in a foundational educational studies course, I became committed to recognizing and unlearning practices of colonialism and oppression in my classrooms and teaching practice. Using critical autoethnography as the mode of inquiry, and drawing relationships between the Characteristics of White Supremacy…
