Whole-school relational pedagogy
The connected collector
The Web opens possibilities for democratic engagement in collecting. Previously closed groups available only to aficionados/cognoscenti are now open to wider networks of collector. This paper argues that a typology of Web collecting is possible to chart. Although not disconnected to offline modes of collecting, or collecting practices that occurred pre-Web, it remains that certain ways of collecting are mediated by Web 2.0 technologies. We see th…
Bridging the extremes of policy research
In this article, we draw on Foucault’s concept of rapport á soi to examine how teachers constitute themselves in response to a national schooling reform agenda. We explore this through the use of composite narratives of teacher interviews in the post-qualitative tradition of storying. The narratives stem from conversations with 25 teachers across different schooling sectors in Queensland, Australia, and relate how teacher engagement with national…
“Do you know who we are? We’re the educators, the real-life superstars”
In this article, we present findings from a study undertaken with nine teachers working in diverse mainstream and alternative schooling contexts in Queensland, Australia, who participated in a year-long affinity group to understand the ways in which hip-hop pedagogy could support their pedagogical practice, professional identity, and well-being. Hip-hop pedagogy centers on a participatory ethic of collaboration and shared expression, which is als…

The teacher as double agent
The ‘community’ concept in local government community plans
The aporia of education policy
In this paper, we deploy the concept of aporia to consider the ways in which enactments of policy become ‘stuck’ as policy flows between national and sub-national education systems. We illustrate the overlapping political, governmental and bureaucratic spheres of influence that mediate how national school reform agendas are received and enacted by schooling systems. Our analysis is based on interviews with senior bureaucrats from an Australian no…
‘Everything was going to be really easy for me’
This paper reflects on the recounts of a group of ‘old boys’ about their transition from elite schools to university. Analysis of semi-structured interview data reveals that this transition was not always straightforward. Although educational background has traditionally determined access to, and progress through, university, this paper details the challenges that confronted a group of old boys as they negotiated a landscape that did not align wi…

Figurations of youth in regional Australia
It comes with more baggage than prestige
Research investigating elite schools has highlighted how students within these learning environments embody and naturalise their privilege through discourses of merit, hard work, and innate talent and skill. However, relatively little is known about how privilege, and its associated discourses, moves with students beyond the school gate and into adulthood. In this paper we present accounts from elite boys’ school alumni to interrogate how they me…
The ethics review and the humanities and social sciences
Ethics review processes are frequently perceived as extending from codes and protocols rooted in biomedical disciplines. As a result, many researchers in the humanities and social sciences (HASS) find these processes to be misaligned, if not outrightly obstructive to their research. This leads some scholars to advocate against HASS participation in institutional review processes as they currently stand, or in their entirety. While ethics review p…
The practice of relationality in classrooms
This paper draws on findings from a wider project examining ‘relational pedagogies’ within Australian secondary schools. The paper considers the growing use of the ‘relationships’ concept as a descriptor of specific teaching practices. Normative descriptions of ‘relationships’ (and concordant descriptions of relational pedagogies) can be at odds with the empirical realities inherent to classroom practice. This paper suggests that accounts of the …
Proposing a conceptual framework for relational pedagogy
This paper outlines a conceptual framework for enacting relational pedagogy.Commencing with a description of a relational ontology that can work to provide the foundation for engaged and participatory enactments of teaching and learning, the paper moves to consider the dynamics that support inclusive modes of education and the dimensions of relational pedagogical encounters.In particular, the pedagogical encounter is examined with a view to illum…
Moving beyond deficit media figurations of young people
It is common for the media to cast young people as dangerous and delinquent, particularly when those young people derive from marginalized backgrounds. Moral panics are fuelled and sustained by the media in their role as agents of moral indignation. Additionally, the media represent a powerful source of moral regulation, often working against the interests of young people. In this paper, a recent media focus on the 'youth crime crisis' in Queensl…
Higher degree research supervision beyond expertise
This paper examines the function of ‘expertise’ in mediating the student–supervisor relationship in Higher Degree Research (HDR). Prevailing conceptualisations of expertise generally translate as disciplinary acumen and reference the supervisor’s specialist disciplinary and methodological knowledge. Beyond establishing the disciplinary ‘signatures’ of a discipline, this expertise also confers ‘symbolic capital’ within the disciplinary field. This…
Reclaiming relationality in education policy
This paper critically examines articulations of relationality present in education policy texts that shape particular discursive representations of relationality between students, teachers and curriculum. The policy texts of Australian state and territory education departments are considered as a set of discursive statements to illustrate how concepts such as relationality are deployed in policy as floating signifiers. Without deep contextualisat…
The location of Cultural Studies
Cultural Studies’ ‘institutional presence’ in higher education is well documented; however, less well understood are nuances between different institutional ‘types’ and the way that Cultural Studies is variously taught and practiced in these settings. This paper will explore the authors’ experiences of teaching with Cultural Studies in Australian regional universities and the opportunities that Cultural Studies presents in these ‘peripheral’ loca…
Cultural Studies and education
In this opening contribution to the Special Issue Cultural Studies and Education: A Dialogue of Disciplines?, Guest Editors Bill Green and Andrew Hickey survey the pedagogical and disciplinary intersections of Cultural Studies and Education. Positioning an account of Cultural Studies that draws attention (back) to Cultural Studies’ founding pedagogical project, Green and Hickey note that Cultural Studies has always maintained a pedagogical impera…
A Critical Discourse Analysis of an Australian Incarcerated Trans Woman's Letters of Complaint and Self-Advocacy
This case study provides a critical discourse analysis of 121 letters of complaint and self-advocacy authored by Natasha Keating, a trans woman incarcerated in two Australian male correctional facilities from 2000 to 2007. During her incarceration, Natasha experienced victimization, misgendering, microaggression, and institutional discrimination. Despite this, Natasha embodied and "fought" against the injustices she experienced, whilst seeking to…
Beyond Criticism of Ethics Review Boards
Relational pedagogy and the policy failure of contemporary Australian schooling
This paper considers the implications of the current landscape of education policy reform in Australian schooling. We argue that the decontextualisation of education policy enactments and the eschewing of concerns relevant at the local level of the school over the past two decades have prompted various reform agendas to fail. We contend that recognition of the deep contextualisation of schools is paramount in any attempt at renewal. Therefore, it…
Working the aporia
A more considered sense of the embodied nature of encounter is called for in the scholarship of ethnography. This paper argues for an ethnographic practice that accordingly moves beyond simplistic recounts of 'highly personalised styles and their self-absorbed mandates' (Van Maanen, 2011: 73), to more fully position an understanding of the ethnographer's Self as an also encountered 'site'. Taking cues from Heideggar's (2008/1927) formulation of D…
Undergraduate programs in Cultural Studies in Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa
This paper outlines initial findings drawn from the Cultural Studies Association of Australasia sponsored project Mapping Undergraduate Programs in Cultural Studies in Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa. The project surveyed programs in Cultural Studies offered by Australian and New Zealand/Aotearoan universities to gauge how Cultural Studies is positioned and the extent to which programs are offered in each country. Highlighting that ‘Cultural S…

New Kids on the Block
In March 2012, Contact Inc., a community cultural development organization based in Brisbane, Australia, launched the project ‘Walking Neighbourhood: hosted by children’. This project sought to engage young people in the negotiation of a large urban space, as well as provoke an awareness of child actualization by challenging existing understandings of the role young people play as active citizens. By asking a group of children, aged between eight…

The constraints of youth
This paper charts the experiences of a group of young people and their involvement in a local government initiative to engage young people in public decision-making. Activated through a youth leaders’ council that sought to influence and inform local government decision-making, the participating young people were given responsibility for enacting focus projects in collaboration with local government personnel. However, this method of simply bring…

The baby group
This paper presents an initial exploration of the ‘baby group’. These informal associations of parents (typically mothers) and their children function as important sites of support and friendship. As peer-constituted and mediated ‘communities of practice’, ‘baby’ or ‘mother’s groups’ present as significant forums for negotiating prevailing knowledge-structures that circulate around parenting. In making a case for the baby-group as a social learni…
A theory-based method for the evaluation of individual quality of life

Halcyon Daze
Using Frank Kermode’s (1967. The sense of an ending: studies in the theory of fiction with a new epilogue. Oxford: OUP) formulation of ‘the End’ as its conceptual marker, this paper takes aim at pronouncements of cultural studies’ demise. In recent years, it has become fashionable to declare cultural studies as in decline, if not irretrievably lost. In drawing on this conceptualization of ‘the End’ to define the current status of cultural studies…
Comfort
Taking as its provocation the recent observation by Larry Grossberg that “knowledge is relatively powerless to affect the conditions and directions of social change” (Tilting at Windmills 149-150) this paper will suggest that it is with the explication of comfort that a valuable response to the challenge of the current conjuncture can be found. Following a brief survey of the nature and purpose of Cultural Studies scholarship in this present mome…

The Persistence of Cultural Studies
Two prevailing inflections of ‘persistence’ occupy the social imagination. In the first, generally considered the domain of toddlers, journalists and telemarketers, persistence comes as something troublesome, incessant, and largely irritating. In the other, persistence is held as a virtue; a capacity maintained by those capable of ‘seeing things through’. Each version of the term may well share a common foundation (hanging on too long can, after …
