Comparative peripheries and decarbonising the uneven geographies of academia
International travel is a key source of academic greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, is a priority for the sector's decarbonisation efforts. However, legacies of colonisation and carbon-intensive development mean that the global geography of knowledge production and exchange is highly concentrated in Europe and North America, notwithstanding increased access through decarbonisation initiatives such as conference hubs. This commentary draws o…

Illuminating the Role of Reflexivity Within Qualitative Pilot Studies: Experiences From a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Project
Pilot studies within qualitative inquiry are crucial yet often hidden aspects of research design. In this article, we argue for pilots to have greater visibility. We explore the role of a pilot in providing a foundation for enhancing ethical reflexivity, drawing on a recent pilot study within a tertiary healthcare education setting. The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) presents a unique environment with complex stakeholder relationship…

The overall aim of the project was to explore the issues faced when embedding traditional, unstructured, and largely unsupervised play practices in the modern family environment. The project commenced with an initial workshop day, including a two-hour information seminar for parents, real play activities for …
It’s all about winning, isn’t it? Competing discourses in children’s sport in New Zealand
Children participating in organized team sports are both the objects and subjects of competing discourses, which can create contradictory and sometimes confusing experiences for those involved. Influenced by Foucault’s concept of discourse and drawing upon the experiences related by a focus group of sports administrators, this article argues that the construction of children’s sport is heavily influenced by the collision between three dominant di…

Social and Magic Realism in Miguel Méndez'El Sueño de Santa María de las Piedras
The objective of this study is to emphasize and analyze the interplay of social and magical realism in Miguel Méndez' novel. By depicting Timoteo Noragua's magical journey from Mexico to the US, interspersed with the fragmented, dream-like reminiscences of five old Mexicans, who recall the past and comment on Santa Maria de las Piedras, the author molds a universe where the miraculous and the real create a mysterious, timeless fluidity, where var…
