“We know it matters, but we don’t do it”
Despite recognition that learners with intellectual disabilities face heightened risks of sexual abuse and exploitation, few receive meaningful sexuality education. This article offers a Žižekian critique of this persistent inaction, drawing on qualitative data from teachers, caregivers, religious leaders and policy actors in Kenya. It is argued that institutional paralysis is sustained not by ignorance, but by contradictory fantasies: learners w…
Testing the impact of an education after-school support program on adolescents’ literacy and numeracy achievement in urban Kenya
This is like a church - You come with an offering
This reflective article centres on the controversy surrounding the practice of compensating research participants, drawing on insights gained from data collection experiences in rural, non-affluent schools in Kenya.

To comprehend the foundational issues embedded in our field experiences, we employ perspectives from decolonial and post-colonia…

We review the outcomes of a teacher education project in South Africa through three studies t…

This study sought to understand how fathers perceived schooling of their children with intellectual disabilities and how this impacted upon their involvement. The paper reports specifically on the views of fathers, teachers and mothers of children with intellectual disabilities regarding how fathers understood schooling and how the understanding affected father involvement at a special school. The findings are a part of a larger case study conduc…
To what extent is the schooling system willing to change to include disabled children
Inclusive education has often been fronted as the panacea in the education of disabled children. Governments have made efforts for disabled children to access schools with their nondisabled counterparts. However, inclusive education should go beyond the mere presence of disabled children in mainstream schools to the participation and achievement of such children. This paper uses the theoretical approach of Disability Studies in Education to explo…
