Smithers, Kathleen; Harris, Jess; Goff, Mhorag; Spina, Nerida; Bailey, Simon – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2022
Neoliberal reform of the university sector has resulted in increasing numbers of academics employed on casual or fixed-term contracts.

Entwistle, Lewis – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2022
The precarity of professionals working in schools and colleges at a time of change has been strongly accented by the competitive markets that currently characterise education and the influence of its global reforms.

Crimmins, Gail; Lipton, Briony; McIntyre, Joanna; de Villiers Scheepers, Margarietha; English, Peter – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2022
Government policies are forcing universities to narrowly emphasise employability, which does not bode well for the Creative Industries (CI). Despite being one of the fastest-growing and diverse employment sectors, CI degrees have been criticised for failing to deliver adequate employment prospects. The employability focus, which serves 'the…

Jopling, Michael; Harness, Oliver – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2022
Research into the effects of pressure on school leaders has focused more on its impacts at the system level than on the human impact on leaders. Using theories of vulnerability, this paper attempts to redress this balance, examining the challenges school leaders in North East England faced during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and the…

Hunnaball, Margaret; Jones, Jane; Maguire, Meg – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2022
English education has a long-standing parallel but unequal school system. State-maintained schools are free of charge for attendees; independent schools are free from state control and funded largely by fees. Most independent schools hold charitable status which benefits them in relation to taxation although they cater largely for socially…

Economic growth in the Western world after World War II was linked to…

Gordon, Rhyall Barry; Lumb, Matt; Bunn, Matthew; Burke, Penny Jane – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2022
Formal evaluation of policies, programmes and people has become ubiquitous in contemporary western contexts. This is the case for equity and widening participation (WP) agendas in higher education, for which evaluation is often required to measure 'what works'. Although evaluation has a 'fundamentally social, political, and value-oriented…
