Student well-being, sense of belonging, and alienation among secondary school students in Colombia, India, and Malawi
Growing evidence supports the importance of students’ well-being, sense of belonging, and alienation for their success in school and the labor force. Although research points to some school-related factors that influence these important outcomes, evidence from lower- and middle-income countries is limited. In this paper we report the results of a cross-country survey of over 1500 youth in urban and rural schools in Colombia, India, and Malawi. Fo…
Syndemic sex education
In this article, we consider what would happen if the resources and energy devoted to formal, school-based sex education were redirected into a syndemic sex education approach that centres the individual, social, and structural conditions that shape adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Drawing on a case study of youth in Malawi, we argue that sex education in its current form fails to broadly prevent negative SRH outcomes and meanin…
Piling on the stress
The United States is experiencing state disinvestment from higher education and significant wealth inequality. This article documents how low-income college students both experience and attempt to manage these contexts in their daily lives at a public flagship university in the American Midwest. We theorize these experiences as forms of precarity entailed by a culture and institutional form that we describe as the neoliberal majoritarian universi…
Representations of Humans, Climate Change, and Environmental Degradation in School Textbooks in Ghana and Malawi
Youth in sub-Saharan Africa are extremely vulnerable to the negative consequences of climate change and environmental degradation. The interest in education for sustainable development (ESD) to support African youth in learning about and adapting to climate change is growing in response. This study examines the messages about human-earth relationships, environmental change, and responsibilities for mitigation that are presented in official grade …

We sampled 26 patients and 14 caregivers for this qualitative critical ethnographic study. The study purpose was to describe the lived experience of female palliative care patients in rural Malawi and their caregivers. The specific aims were to (i) analyse physical, spiritual and mental healt…

Vulnerable children, communities and schools
The growing number of children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS threatens the achievement of Education for All (EFA) and Millennium Development goals. Policy recommendations assign schools key roles in meeting the needs of vulnerable children, but there is a dearth of evidence about how vulnerable children and schools interact in AIDS affected communities. Case studies of schools and vulnerable children in Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe show that although…
