Beyond the theory-practice divide: A systems analysis of beginning teacher learning-practice through complex theoretical frameworks
Traditional teacher development research conceptualises the relationship between preservice learning and classroom practice as linear transfer, perpetuating ‘theory-practice divide’ narratives that obscure the actual complexity of learning-to-teach processes. In this systematic interpretive literature review, we expand on existing systems mapping by synthesising studies drawing on theoretical frameworks that conceptualise beginning teacher learni…
Underemployment and mental health amongst working-age Australians: A gendered analysis using the Hilda survey (2002–2022)
Underemployment is an increasingly persistent and pervasive feature of contemporary labour markets and there is some evidence to suggest that underemployment is an important social determinant of health and well-being. However, the evidence base has tended to focus on hours-based underemployment more than others like skills-based underemployment. Moreover, the gendered dimensions of underemployment remain under-researched despite evidence to sugg…
The contribution of unpaid labour to poor mental health in the Swedish working population
Poor mental health is debilitating and of global public health concern. Unpaid labour has been recognised as an important yet neglected, and highly gendered, determinant of mental health. We examined the contribution of unpaid labour to poor mental health, in relation to other known risk factors, in employed adults. Study data is from 5462 employed Swedish women and men aged 30-49 years responding to a population survey in 2022. Independent assoc…
Beyond the grand narrative: Uncovering tensions in the experiences of critical educators
Precarious, non-standard and informal employment: A glossary
Precarity in employment is an increasingly concerning global phenomenon. Yet, despite its rising prevalence and the significant impact it has on many people’s lives and health, definitions of precarious employment are varied, and different terms are often used interchangeably. Differences between high-income and low-income and middle-income countries, as well as diverse cross-national labour market structures, further complicate the scholarship. …
Gendered associations between time-related underemployment and mental health: Longitudinal evidence from 21 waves of cohort data
BACKGROUND: Underemployment is an increasing feature of global labour markets. However, the mental health impacts of underemployment remain relatively under-researched. Longitudinal evidence is particularly sparse, as is accounting for gender differences in the association. Addressing key gaps, this study examines the association between time-related underemployment and mental health in Australian adults. METHODS: Pooled panel data from 21 waves …
Unpaid labour and mental health-the role of perceived fairness and satisfaction in division amongst working-age adults; a longitudinal analysis using 18 waves of panel data
Across the globe, the division of unpaid labour remains highly gendered and unequally shared. This has consequences for women's economic security and their ability to participate equally in paid work. Whilst unpaid labour time has been shown to be associated with poorer mental health, understanding how the unequal division of unpaid labour impacts mental health requires further scrutiny. Utilising 18 annual waves (2005-2022) of the HILDA survey, …
Navigating tensions: A critical policy analysis of expectations for English educators in Georgia
We compare the institutional standards and expectations for English language arts (ELA) educators from the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), the leading professional organization in this field, and the state of Georgia. By conducting a critical policy analysis of documents from NCTE and the Georgia Department of Education (GADoE) we sought to understand the tension between standards set for training English education students in ins…
Trajectories of job insecurity and the probability of poorer mental health among prime working-age Australian women and men
Precarious and insecure employment arrangements are important social determinants of health. Prior evidence has consistently found perceived job insecurity to be associated with poorer mental health. Nonetheless, several key under-researched areas remain in the existing evidence base. This study addresses some of these gaps by examining trajectories of job (in)security and assessing the effect of various persistent job security trajectories on su…
Gender identity and sexual orientation: A glossary
Gender and sexually diverse populations remain understudied and under-represented in research. This is attributable not only to significant and ongoing data collection limitations, where large population-based studies fail to ask adequate questions around gender and sexuality, but also due to continuously evolving terminology in this space. This glossary takes a preliminary step in rectifying these issues by defining and clarifying the applicatio…
The gendered associations between precarious employment and mental health in working-age Australians: A longitudinal analysis using 16 waves of the Hilda survey
Trajectories of Unpaid Labour and the Probability of Employment Precarity and Labour Force Detachment Among Prime Working-Age Australian Women
Worldwide, women are over-represented in precarious and insecure employment arrangements. Importantly, the high unpaid labour demands women experience over the life course compromise paid labour force participation for women. This study explores the way different trajectories of time spent in unpaid labour throughout women's prime working and child-rearing years (from baseline age of 25-35 yrs to 42-52 yrs) are associated with indicators of preca…
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…
Critically Reading the Canon: Culturally Sustaining Approaches to a Prescribed Literature Curriculum
Culturally sustaining pedagogy (Paris, 2012) has emerged as an essential way to value the evolution of culture among diverse learners. Discussions around teaching in a culturally sustaining manner in the English language arts classroom, specifically when teaching literary analysis, often address the need to incorporate multicultural literature so that students are exposed to stories told from diverse perspectives. However, the reality in many sch…
Reliable Sources” in Cable News: Analyzing Network Fragmentation in Coverage of Reform Policy
News coverage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and President Obama’s announced Clean Power Plan (CPP) served as data for two case studies. Social network analysis was used to investigate the sources used by cable giants CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. Both case studies show the extent of sourcing varies across the three news outlets, with CNN using the smallest network, MSNBC using the largest, and Fox falling somewhere in betw…
