Mulcahy, Dianne – Journal of Education Policy, 2016
This article seeks to augment an emerging interest in education policy research in enactment theorising, to explicitly consider the role and contribution of materiality in this theorising.

Haigh, Yvonne; Murcia, Karen; Norris, Lindy – Journal of Education Policy, 2014
Citizenship education in Australia is embedded throughout the school curriculum. Despite a coherent policy context for the inclusion of citizenship and civic education at all levels of schooling, the links between education and civic minded citizens are tenuous. This paper explores these connections by drawing on the views of participants in an…

Selwyn, Neil – Journal of Education Policy, 2013
While it is generally acknowledged that being "historically informed" lies at the heart of critical accounts of education policy-making, the use of historically focused retrospective research methods within the field is rare.
