Naming, sustaining, nurturing
In the spring of 2024, we issued a call for a thematic number titled “Education, antiracism and decoloniality: tensions, resistances, and possibilities” as part of Educação, Sociedade & Culturas [Education, Society & Cultures], a multilingual journal of CIIE – Centre for Research and Intervention in Education of the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences of the University of Porto, Portugal, as a result of an open call for special issues pr…
Is another internationalisation possible
This article discusses ‘another’ internationalisation of higher education through the lens of the ‘third mission’ of engagement from a Global South viewpoint. It recontextualises internationalisation and the third mission through the meanings and practices of university extension in Latin America. Within a Global North perspective, internationalisation of the third mission is under-studied, compared to the internationalisation of teaching and res…

This paper is concerned with managerialism in universities. It focuses on the way compliance with widely criticised aspects of managerialism—above all, auditing as the dominant form of accountability—is compelled by what Peter Miller and Nikolas Rose call ‘psychotherapeutic authority.’ We offer a reading of two deployments of ‘psychotherapeutic authority.’ The first is the recently published Impossible Bosses: Secret Strategies to Deal with Eight…
Decolonising the social sciences
This article unpacks some complexities of ‘decolonising’ in Ireland, a complicated semiperipheral ‘mixed colony’, in which rhetorics, logic, and grammar are simultaneously colonial and decolonial, interrupting and complicitly reproducing divisive and dehumanising colonialities of knowledge and being. The global call to decolonise academia invites Irish social scientists to confront significant social divisions, economic precarities, and epistemic…
Understanding Digital Inequality
The pandemic affected more than 1.5 billion students and youth, and the most vulnerable learners were hit hardest, making digital inequality in educational settings impossible to overlook. Given this reality, we, all educators, came together to find ways to understand and address some of these inequalities. As a product of this collaboration, we propose a methodological toolkit: a theoretical kaleidoscope to examine and critique the constitutive …
Humane Security
This paper responds to the UNDP 2022 Special Report on Human Security in the Anthropocene (hereafter ‘UNDP Special Report’, UNDP 2022), and HDCA Human Security Thematic Group’s sessions at the 2022 HDCA Antwerp conference, focused on interrogating the ‘soul’ of the human security concept. In order to facilitate the practical implementation of human security principles, I offer six integrative suggestions for a convergent view that reinforces huma…
Development and Assessment of a Brazilian Pilot Massive Open Online Course in Planetary Health Education
Introduction: Planetary health (PH) has emerged as a leading field for raising awareness, debating, and finding solutions for the health impacts of human-caused disruptions to Earth's natural systems. PH education addresses essential questions of how humanity inhabits Earth, and how humans affect, and are affected by, natural systems. A pilot massive open online course (MOOC) in PH was created in Brazil in 2020. This MOOC capitalized on the globa…

On decolonial revisions of modern social theory
This review essay discusses decolonial and revisionist approaches to the sociological canon, centring on a major new work, Colonialism and Modern Social Theory by Gurminder Bhambra and John Holmwood (2021). The challenge to ‘classical’ social theory and the demand to reconstitute the theory curriculum come in the context of increased visibility for wider decolonial agendas, linked to ‘fallist’ protests in South Africa, Black Lives Matter and alli…
Intersections and collaborative potentials between global citizenship education and education for sustainable development
This article examines intersecting agendas and concerns in global citizenship education (GCE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) in the face of current global crises and pressures. While it cannot be assumed that the two educational projects automatically converge, generative and promising overlaps emerge from the shared interest in the SDG 4.7 education target. The article elaborates on a conversation emerging from the Bridge47 Know…
Researching in the Age of Covid-19 Vol 2
As researchers have begun to adapt to the continuing presence of COVID-19, they have also begun to reflect more deeply on fundamental research issues and assumptions. Researchers around the world have responded in diverse, thoughtful and creative ways - from adapting data collection methods to fostering researcher and community resilience, while also attending to often urgent needs for care. This book, part of a series of three Rapid Responses, c…
Reflections on Randall Collins's sociology of credentialism
This article reflects on Collins's classic work, The Credential Society (1979), situating his critique of educational credentialism within broader 'conflict sociology'. The discussion reappraises Collins's work in the context of the 'new credentialism', 'new learning' and the race, gender and class concerns raised in current debates on higher education. The article characterizes contemporary higher education as being trapped in a Procrustean dyna…
Algorithmic governance
We are living in an algorithmic age where mathematics and computer science are coming together in powerful new ways to influence, shape and guide our behaviour and the governance of our societies. As these algorithmic governance structures proliferate, it is vital that we ensure their effectiveness and legitimacy. That is, we need to ensure that they are an effective means for achieving a legitimate policy goal that are also procedurally fair, op…

Health justice and capabilities
This essay discusses two important recent books on health justice and makes the case for their relevance to global health and to social and political mobilization for health reform. Health and Social Justice (Ruger, 2010) and Health Justice (Venkatapuram, 2011) approach theories of capabilities and justice as the substantive ground of human health. They substantiate and more fully specify the capabilities paradigm, its shared basis with health ri…

Ethical globalisation or privileged internationalisation? Exploring global citizenship and internationalisation in Irish and Canadian universities
This article explores policies and practices of global citizenship and internationalisation within higher education in Canada and Ireland, comparing two Canadian and two Irish universities. The cases suggest a number of entangled and contradictory strands of internationalisation, with implications for global citizenship. Underlying notions of globalisation, citizenship and ‘development’ are interrogated and issues surrounding the local/global dis…
Movements, mobilities and the politics of hazardous waste
Global flows of hazardous waste and waste management technologies are major sources of environmental contestation. They reflect political structures and struggles within, and between, developed and less developed countries. The 'new mobilities paradigm' is tested using two cases of protest in Malaysia and East Germany. Focusing on the conjunctures of various (im)mobilities, the ways in which political circumstances combine with the materialities …
