A Curriculum of Illusion and the Miraculous During DreadFul(l) Times
The current milieu feels dreadful and full of that dread: gun violence and cis-heterosexism in the United States (and elsewhere), as well as the global climate crisis. Given our dread-full situation, what might we do to “keep going” from an ethical standpoint? On our minds is what we are calling a curriculum of illusion and the miraculous, which weaves together Jean Baudrillard’s illusion with Robert Orsi’s call to reclaim the language of immanen…
White Christian nationalism and contemporary education
Reconsidering ritual in education
Our focus in this article is on the necessity in teacher education and educational research of revisiting ritual as a guiding, limiting practice in our field. First, we spend time with an etymology of ‘ritual’ to account for the ways in which its linguistic history has shifted, and fixed, a sense of what ritual is and might do. Second, we conduct a necessarily partial survey of ritual in the academic literature for the sake of setting the stakes …
White Christian Nationalism, Biblical Proof Texting, and Literacy Curriculum and Instruction
If the White Christian nationalist movement has significantly galvanized parent, community, and larger‐scale political groups whose guiding ethos challenges teacher professional roles in shaping literacy curriculum and instruction, then how can literacy teachers and teacher educators better understand this movement, its interpretive orientation to biblical proof texting, and implications for literacy scholarship and education? We focus on the loc…
Making Catholic Schools Research Relevant
Despite the outsized influence the Catholic school sector in the United States has on policymaking, research into the organization of Catholic schools has not kept pace with contemporary educational research trends. In this brief paper, we diagnose how conceptual and empirical decisions made within the field of Catholic education resulted in the field’s relative isolation from other research communities and highlight additional explanations for t…
White Christian Nationalism
The ascendance of White Christian nationalism has profound implications for democracy and public institutions in the United States, including public education. This article explains the core beliefs and features of White Christian nationalism as a contemporary religiopolitical movement that seeks to fuse Christianity with civic life; delineates how and why it matters for educational research; and identifies how education scholars might begin to a…
Generative Dissensus in a Youth-Led Coalition-Building Enterprise
Context: Rooted in the principles of Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR), this article explores how a team of youth community activists extended their coalition virtually to produce a bill of demands for structural social change in their city and its surrounding county. Focus of Study: Our inquiry focuses on how the youth’s dialectic goal of arriving at consensus (through debate fiercely, and intentionally, tied to the country’s own intern…
Secularisms, sexualities and theology
When we began to conceptualise the introduction to this themed symposium in Sex Education journal our initial instinct was fairly defensive. This came from, upon discussion and reflection, a bit of
Reengaging Theology in Educational Studies
This work seeks to do two things. First to make an argument for a robust engagement with theology as a theoretical framework for critical educational research. And second, the piece draws upon contemporary queer and progressive Christian theology, in particular, theological interventions from Marcela Althaus Reid’s Indecent Theology to think differently about how educational researchers might frame the way we say yes, as Jen Gilbert suggests, to …
Educating tensions between religious and sexuality discourses
We not only live with those we never chose, and to whomwe may feel no social sense of belonging,but we are also obligated to preserve those livesand the plurality of which they form a part.Judith B
No, We Should Do It”
Thinking educational controversies through evil and prophetic indictment
This article is about evil and its function in educational discourse. The research posits, using work in postsecularism and particularly through an historical, legal, and theological read of prophetic indictment and the function of the jeremiad in educational policy, that the terms of educational debate are rendered in a legal rather than a deliberative discursive framework. This lends itself, then, to the creation of evil others opposed to one’s…

Legacies of Christian Languaging and Literacies in American Education
Wooden dolls and disarray
According to the 2013 report by the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), most teacher education programs are failing in the United States. These programs, NCTQ insists, are not preparing new teachers with sufficiently ‘scientific’ methods and are, in the process, failing to properly train prospective teachers how to ‘lead the classroom’ (p. 2). In the deficit discourses employed by NCTQ, teacher education programs have become a cesspool of…
I Could Not Believe That Would Happen”
As part of a youth summer program—a partnership between a large Southeastern university and the local school district—middle-school-aged youth, preservice teachers, and doctoral candidates interested in arts-based literacy practices spent their mornings in June 2016 engaging in activities that both explored and expanded thinking around their communities, schools, and families. Whereas the youth were enrolled in a monthlong creative arts and tenta…

Youth Voice, Civic Engagement and Failure in Participatory Action Research
A Critical Geographic Approach to Youth Civic Engagement
The article draws on work in Critical Geography Studies and Photovoice methodology, to illustrate the ways in which youth in an inner city conceptualize neighborhoods and public spaces. We utilize youth’s photographs, narratives, and maps to tell a story of youth’s lived experiences and argue that these experiences are vital sources of knowledge about how an unequal distribution of resources affects them. It is important, we argue, to not only he…
Queering Catholic Fundamentalism
This article seeks to build on recent movement in the fields of religion and gender studies in order to analyze and critically reflect on “the relation, confrontation and intersection of gender and religion” (Korte, 2011, p. 2). Here the author works to investigate the possibility that emerges in new forms of analysis that marry theological interventions with masculinities studies as a way to newly attend to patriarchy and fundamentalism. Utilizi…

Racing tradition
This article seeks to add to the underdeveloped strain of inquiry on the raced social experience of students in private and parochial institutions. We examine the role Catholic schools in the city of Chicago play in the maintenance and creation of racially problematic policies, spaces, and rhetoric. The research uncovers a multitude of responses framing African American students as an exotic other in mission and action through the leveraging of l…
Nomadic Teaching, Vagabond Dreaming
NotesThere's something worth saying here about the power of naming in relation to the creation of reality. One need only look to the names of the fifty-three neighborhood schools closed in the city of Chicago in 2013 (to be replaced, one must recall, by charters later authorized by the Mayor and his board) to think about the power of history and narrative (indeed, place) that is being lost. Gone are Altgeld Elementary (named for John Altgeld, a p…
Reading the Bible as a Pedagogical Text
While it is true that following various Supreme Court decisions in the last century, religion is, in most cases, no longer explicitly taught in public school classrooms, we use this article to explore the ways in which implicit religious understandings regarding curriculum and pedagogy still remain prevalent in current public education. Building on previous work, we first aim to problematize the ways religion and particularly Judeo‐Christian assu…
