Francesca Peruzzo; Rille Raaper – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2024
Drawing on a Foucauldian theorisation and an in-depth study with eight disabled student activists in England, this paper explores how persistent marginalisation and ableism in higher education has triggered a wave of activism among disabled students, who, just before the advent of the pandemic, had organised a structured movement, Disabled…

Beighton, Christian; Naz, Zahid – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2023
This paper examines emerging discourses and practices of quality assurance in English Further Education (FE), a sector currently undergoing significant change.

Drawing on Critical Race Theory (CRT) and illustrating with examples from the English system, the paper addresses the hidden racist dimension to contemporary education reforms and argues that this is a predictable and recurrent theme at times of economic crisis. Derrick Bell's concept of "interest-convergence" argues that moments of…

Chadderton, Charlotte; Colley, Helen – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2012
Disadvantaged young people often inhabit a dangerous space: excluded from education, training and employment markets; constructed as disposable; and cast out as "human waste" (Bauman, 2004). There are many macro-level analyses of this catastrophic trend, but this article provides insights into some of the everyday educational…
