Duffy, W. Keith – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2023
This article uses a quasi-spiritual lens to examine why some teachers feel compelled to inappropriately control student writing.

MacDonald, Michael T. – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2023
This article examines the terms "avant-garde" and "vanguard" as keywords for teaching English through the concept of political agency.

Yandell, John – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2023
The 'knowledge turn' in curriculum studies has proved highly influential in the past two decades.

This narrative inquiry explores the author's attempt to teach Henry James's novella "The Turn of the Screw" in a high school English class, making the celebration of confusion -- in the tradition of John Dewey -- the cornerstone of the experience. The students' interpretive discourse is analysed, prompting reflection on promising…
