Rethinking learning and teaching cultures in higher education through radical collegiality and student-staff partnerships
This paper contributes to the growing research interest in the quality of learning and teaching in higher education (HE). The paper argues for the rethinking of learning and teaching cultures in HE regarding learning and teaching quality enhancement. Using Fielding’s (1999) ‘radical collegiality’ and Cook-Sather’s (2015) ‘pedagogical partnerships’ as theoretical anchors, the paper interrogates the theory and applied practice of authentic collabor…
Trauma-Informed Approaches to Campus Sexual Assault Response
This study examined attitudes towards and implementation of trauma-informed approaches in sexual assault response protocols at U.S. higher education institutions through a two-phase mixed-methods approach. This included surveying 830 institutions and interviewing 43 participants representing seven of those institutions. Staff involved in response efforts supported trauma-informed approaches, but were often constrained by federal requirements (i.e…
Binge drinking, job stressors, and resilience in a nationally representative sample of law enforcement officers
Law enforcement officers experience high rates of stress associated with their work, potentially leading to alcohol use as a means of coping. Using data from a nationally representative survey of law enforcement officers in the U.S., we found that adjusted odds of binge drinking monthly or more frequently increased significantly with higher levels of administrative stress and each additional type of critical incident reported. Increased officer r…
Exploring the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 as a screening tool for wellness in law enforcement
Law enforcement officers globally face unique stressors and heightened morbidity compared to the general population. This study emerged as part of an initiative to provide data needed to design policies and programs that address the stressors faced by officers and to investigate how these factors may affect officer performance. As part of this initiative, a nationally representative cohort of officers (n = 2,867, mean age 41) answered questions r…
The role of classroom observation in the development and assessment of schoolteachers in Vietnam
This paper focuses on the role of classroom observation in the development and assessment of schoolteachers in Vietnam through a narrative review of current policy and cognate research literature. The overall aim of this review was twofold. Firstly, to contribute to a growing bank of Vietnam-based studies to maximise the value of the insights from this scholarly work into recent policy reforms on teachers’ professional development in Vietnam. Sec…
A missed opportunity? How the UK's teaching excellence framework fails to capture the voice of university staff
Drawing on recent research involving approximately 6000 higher education staff, this paper examines the impact of the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) on their professional lives since its launch in 2016. Our findings raise fundamental concerns, methodologically and conceptually, about the fitness for the purpose of the TEF and its failure to take into account the views and experiences of higher education staff. With a rel…

Partnership as cultural practice in the face of neoliberal reform
This article examines the nature of an on-going educational partnership between a Higher Education institution and a number of Further Education (FE) colleges in the West Midlands region of England, forged against the backdrop of sectoral marketisation and neoliberal reform. The partnership originates in the organisation and administration of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) courses for FE student-teachers across a range of sites. These collaborat…
New Public Management in an age of austerity
This article originates in a piece of educational research into the experiences of further education (FE) student teachers in the West Midlands region of England. This cohort of students experienced significant upheaval in their college workplaces and placements during the 2010/2011 academic year. Pressures on FE funding were exacerbated by a Comprehensive Spending Review by the coalition government in late 2010 – prompted by the on-going global …
