The Effects of Early Childhood Science Educational Interventions on Children’s Science Achievement: A Meta-Analysis of Classroom-Based Studies
The importance of providing children with more robust opportunities to access high-quality science instruction is a widely recognized challenge. Unfortunately, science instruction is often neglected in the earliest school grades, meaning that many young children face opportunity gaps in learning science. We present the results of a meta-analysis of experimental and quasi-experimental research of the effects of classroom-based preschool/pre–K–firs…
The Application of Behavioral Economics to Teacher Professional Development
Teacher professional development (PD) is among the most prominent levers used to improve teaching quality. The findings of research studies examining PD interventions are heterogeneous, with meta-analyses indicating mean positive impacts but also the existence of many ineffective programs. Educational Researcher has served as a critical platform for conversations on strengthening the research base on teacher PD. In this article, we argue that ins…
Metricisation in school: An Affective and Epistemic Injustice
Neither the Rawlsian distributive model of justice nor Fraser’s (2008) three-dimensional model, based on principles of redistribution, recognition and representation, are sufficient to explain inequality in education. Both perspectives misrecognise how affective care relations operate as a discrete and relatively autonomous set of social practices, and how epistemic injustices impact participatory parity. The goal of this article is to show how m…
“Siempre hay fisuras entre las rocas; siempre hubo lugar para el cambio”: Una entrevista con Kathleen Lynch
Kathleen Lynch, Profesora Emérita de Equality Studies en University College Dublin (UCD), jugó un papel importante en el establecimiento del Equality Studies Centre en 1990 (Centro de Estudios sobre la Igualdad) y de la School of Social Justice (Escuela de Justicia Social) en 2004/5, ambas en UCD.

The Impact of Summer Programs on Student Mathematics Achievement: A Meta-Analysis
We present results from a meta-analysis of 37 contemporary experimental and quasi-experimental studies of summer programs in mathematics for children in grades pre-K–12, examining what resources and characteristics predict stronger student achievement. Children who participated in summer programs that included mathematics activities experienced significantly better mathematics achievement outcomes compared to their control group counterparts. We …
Care and Covid 19: Lessons for liberals and neoliberals
Within the liberal political traditions, care is regarded as a private matter, a problem of ethics rather than justice. Social justice is framed as an issue of economics (re/distribution), culture (recognition) and/or politics (representation). The pandemic challenged this liberal patriarchal paradigm; it placed the care relational lives of human beings centre stage in terms of social justice, not only in terms of who did or did not do the caring…

‘We Protestants in Masquerade’: Burning the Pope in London
At the height of the Exclusion Crisis, an annual ‘solemn mock procession’ of the pope marched ‘through the City of London’ to a large bonfire into which an effigy of the pope was dumped. These processions took place on the accession day of Elizabeth I. They reportedly attracted as many as two hundred thousand spectators. This article reads these processions through the lens of civic ceremony, taking the performance of civic identity on the street…

Care and affective relations: Social justice and sociology
This article examines the ways in which the care-indifferent and gendered character of much political egalitarian theory has contributed to a disregard for the care-relational dimensions of social injustice within the social sciences. It demonstrates how the lack of in-depth engagement with affective relations of love, care and solidarity has contributed to an underestimation of their pivotal role in generating injustices in the production of peo…
The care ceiling in higher education
This study examines the impact of managerialist policies on care relations in higher education. It is based on a study of 10 higher education institutions in Ireland. The paper shows that a care-free worker model is ingrained in systems of performance appraisal, especially for academics in universities, and increasingly in the Institutes of Technology, although it also impacts on support staff in other professions and occupations. It assumes a li…
Professional development that improves STEM outcomes
How should teachers spend their STEM-focused professional learning time? To answer this question, Heather Hill, Kathleen Lynch, Kathryn Gonzalez, and Cynthia Pollard analyzed a recent wave of rigorous new studies of STEM instructional improvement programs. They found that programs work best when focused on building knowledge teachers can use during instruction. This includes knowledge of the curriculum materials they will use, knowledge of conten…

Affective and calculative solidarity: The impact of individualism and neoliberal capitalism
This article examines the ways in which the self-responsibilized individualism underpinning contemporary concepts of the ideal European citizen, on the one hand (Frericks, 2014), and the inequalities and anti-democratic politics that characterize contemporary neoliberal capitalism, on the other, are co-constituent elements in creating an antipathy to forms of solidarity that are affective as opposed to calculative. The active citizenship framewor…
Strengthening the Research Base That Informs STEM Instructional Improvement Efforts: A Meta-Analysis
We present results from a meta-analysis of 95 experimental and quasi-experimental pre-K–12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professional development and curriculum programs, seeking to understand what content, activities, and formats relate to stronger student outcomes. Across rigorously conducted studies, we found an average weighted impact estimate of +0.21 standard deviations. Programs saw stronger outcomes when they he…
On the question of cheap care: Regarding A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things by Raj Patel and Jason W Moore
One of the most engaging claims of Patel and Moore’s book is that abstract ideas have played a powerful role legitimating the exploitation of swathes of humanity, through distinguishing ontologically and epistemologically between nature and society. As most women, and indigenous people, were defined as part of nature, their labours and lives, including their care labour, were deemed to be part of nature and thereby legitimately exploitable. The a…
A Mid-6th-Century b.c.e. Deposit from Gordion in Central Anatolia: Evidence for Feasting and the Persian Destruction
A coherent deposit of dumped debris, excavated at Gordion in 1950 and the 1990s, was apparently formed during the cleanup following the Achaemenid Persian attack on the city, ca. 540 b.c.e. It offers a first glimpse of life at Gordion during the mid-6th century (end of the Middle Phrygian period, Yassıhöyük Stratigraphic Sequence 5A). Greek imports provide a relatively firm date for the deposit and allow a chronologically specific snapshot of loc…
Precarity, gender and care in the neoliberal academy
This article examines the rise in precarious academic employment in Ireland as an outcome of the higher education restructuring following OECD (Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development), government initiatives and post‐crisis austerity. Presenting the narratives of academic women at different career stages, we claim that a focus on care sheds new light on the debate on precarity. A more complete understanding of precarity should tak…
Barbara Tsakirgis, 1954-2019
On 16 January 2019, Barbara Tsakirgis died in Nashville, Tennessee, from complications of ALS. Tsakirgis was well known as an expert on Greek houses and households as well as for her service—both formal and informal—to the field of Mediterranean archaeology. She was also known for her devotion to teaching and to her friends, students, and family. Nashville, Athens, and Sicily were the three foci of her life.Tsakirgis was born on 12 May 1954 in Ar…

Relationships between Observations of Elementary Mathematics Instruction and Student Achievement: Exploring Variability across Districts
Much debate surrounding teacher quality has focused on students’ standardized test scores, but recent federal and state initiatives have emphasized the use of multiple measures to evaluate teacher quality, including classroom observations. In this study, we explore differences across school districts in the relationship between student achievement outcomes and the observed quality of teachers’ instruction. Using data from 298 elementary mathemati…
Towards a Multi-Scalar, Multidisciplinary Approach to the Classical Greek City: The Olynthos Project
Research on the cities of the Classical Greek world has traditionally focused on mapping the organisation of urban space and studying major civic or religious buildings. More recently, newer techniques such as field survey and geophysical survey have facilitated exploration of the extent and character of larger areas within urban settlements, raising questions about economic processes. At the same time, detailed analysis of residential buildings …
No Choice without Care: Palliative Care as a Relational Matter, the Case of Ireland
In recent years, choice and autonomy have been prioritized as key quality indicators in palliative care services. This article examines current palliative care discourses with respect to patient choice. While recognizing the importance of personal autonomy, using evidence from Ireland, this article explores how a discourse on choice can contribute to inequalities in palliative care because it fails to take account of pre-existing structural inequ…
Aligning the market and affective self: Care and student resistance to entrepreneurial subjectivities
The paper examines the ways in which higher education students negotiate contemporary global transitions premised on improving competitiveness and opportunity in a system driven by the ideology of the market-led, knowledge-based economy (HEA. 2011. National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030. Dublin: Department of Education and Skills; OECD 2004. Review of National Policies for Education in Ireland. Paris: OECD; 2006. Higher Education in Irela…
Affective Equality: Love Matters
The nurturing that produces love, care, and solidarity constitutes a discrete social system of affective relations. Affective relations are not social derivatives, subordinate to economic, political, or cultural relations in matters of social justice. Rather, they are productive, materialist human relations that constitute people mentally, emotionally, physically, and socially. As love laboring is highly gendered, and is a form of work that is bo…
Love Labour as a Distinct and Non-Commodifiable Form of Care Labour
This paper examines the nature of love labouring and explores how it can be distinguished from other forms of care work. It provides a three fold taxonomy for analysing other-centred work, distinguishing between work required to maintain primary care relations (love labour), secondary care relations (general care work) and tertiary care relations (solidarity work). A central theme of the paper is that primary care relations are not sustainable ov…

Carelessness: A hidden doxa of higher education
This article explores the implications of new public sector ‘reforms’ for the culture of higher education. It argues that a culture of carelessness, grounded in Cartesian rationalism, has been exacerbated by new managerialism. The article challenges a prevailing sociological assumption that the character of higher education culture is primarily determined by new managerial values and norms. Carelessness in education has a longer historical trajec…
Control by numbers: New managerialism and ranking in higher education
This paper analyses the role of rankings as an instrument of new managerialism. It shows how rankings are reconstituting the purpose of universities, the role of academics and the definition of what it is to be a student. The paper opens by examining the forces that have facilitated the emergence of the ranking industry and the ideologies underpinning the so-called ‘global’ university rankings. It demonstrates how rankings are a part of political…
The care‐less manager: Gender, care and new managerialism in higher education
While there has always been a profound indifference to the affective domain in formal education, given its Cartesian allegiance to the development of the rational autonomous subject, this indifference to the emotional subject is intensifying with the glorification of performativity. As higher education is especially subject to performance measurement and rankings, this study of top‐level management in Irish higher education shows that those who h…

Inequality in Higher Education: A study of class barriers
This paper is based on a study conducted among four groups of people who have direct experience of how social‐class position affects students’ access to, and participation in, higher education. Intensive interviews were undertaken with 122 people deliberately chosen from a range of counties, schools and higher educational institutions in Ireland. Interviews were undertaken with 40 low‐income working‐class second‐level students, 40 others at third…

The Colonisation of Social Class in Education
The purpose of this paper is to explore the dilemmas posed by the analysis of working class issues in education by professional sociologists. There are two central themes in the paper. First it suggests that the inequalities experienced in the education system by working class people has been colonised by middle class academics for their own professional purposes. This colonisation has been greatly facilitated by the nature of the scholastic cont…
Markets, schools and the convertibility of economic capital: The complex dynamics of class choice
While economic capital is not synonymous with cultural, social or symbolic capital in either its constitutional or organizational form, it nevertheless remains the more flexible and convertible form of capital. The convertibility of economic capital has particular resonance within ‘Celtic Tiger’ Ireland. The state’s reluctance to fully endorse an internal market between schools has resulted in middle‐class parents using their private wealth to cr…
Affective and calculative solidarity: The impact of individualism and neoliberal capitalism

Breaking silence: Educating citizens for love, care and solidarity
An indifference to the affective domain and an allegiance to the education of the rational autonomous subject and public citizen are at the heart of formal education. The impact of Cartesian rationalism is intensifying with the glorification of performativity measured by league tables and rankings. The citizen carer and the care recipient citizen are only recognised in the educational arena when professionals are being trained to manage those in …
Academic freedom and the commercialisation of universities: A critical ethical analysis
This paper explores the cultural and organisational dimensions of academic life that lay the foundations for academic freedom. We briefly review the relationship between university autonomy and academic freedom, the relationship between ethics and freedom and the impact of increased commercialisation on scholarly independence, particularly how the increasing casualization of employment limits the freedom of academics to teach critically and publi…
New managerialism, neoliberalism and ranking
This paper analyses the ranking of universities within the socio-political context of neoliberalism and the organisational context of new managerialism. It examines the forces that have facilitated the emergence of the ranking industry and the ideologies underpinning the so-called 'global' university rankings. What the paper shows is that rankings are a politically inspired mode of governance; they are designed to ensure that universities are reg…

Solidary Labour: Its Nature and Marginalisation
This paper represents an attempt to analyse the labour involved in producing and reproducing caring relationships as a form of work. The term 'solidary' or 'love labour' is coined to differentiate this kind of work from other forms of human service work, domestic work and/or economic labour. We suggest that solidary labour cannot be understood as a structural necessity emanating from the political and economic requirements of the wider system. Ye…
Reproduction: The role of cultural factors and educational mediators
To understand the processes of reproduction in education one must not only take account of the resistances of subordinated groups, but also of the counter‐resistance which develops in response to these. Proponents of resistance theory have tended to ignore the responses of powerful groups to emerging resistances. Two major reasons are suggested for this, one being the failure of reproduction theorists to take cognisance of unique cultural and pol…
The affective imaginary: Students as affective consumers of risk
This paper examines the purpose of higher education (HE) for students in Ireland in the context of the dominant narrative of the knowledge-based economy (KBE). It argues that the KBE is one of the most recent of economic imaginaries devised by governments to manage the population [Hay, S., & Kaptizke, C. (2009). 'Smart' state for a knowledge economy: Reconstituting creativity through student subjectivity. British Journal of Sociology of Education…

Crafting the Elastic Self? Gender and Identities in Senior Appointments in Irish Education: Gender and Identities in Appointments in Irish Education
This article considers the impact of new managerial reform on the recruitment and retention of women into senior management posts across the Irish education sector. In Ireland as elsewhere, the rhetoric of gender equality permeates new managerial reforms. Yet our data suggest that an emphasis on performativity and an intense commitment to paid work consolidates masculinist management cultures disguised through the ideology of choice. This works t…
Creating a dialogue between sociological and egalitarian theory in education
No one discipline has a monopoly on the truth, especially in the analysis of a complex subject such as equality. If we are to deepen our understanding of inequality in education, we must open a dialogue with other disciplines, most especially with egalitarian theory. Bearing in mind the limitations of writing in a majority language tradition, the article explores the potential for creating a dialogue about equality between sociologists and critic…
Equality and Resistance in Higher Education
This paper is an account of how higher education can become a site of resistance in the pursuit of equality while also identifying the dangers and limitations involved in this process. The development of a new intellectual perspective, namely Equality Studies, is examined and its potential for the understanding of egalitarian practice is explored. The paper examines the reasons why sociology, in particular critical and neo‐Marxist sociology, beca…

Participants receive intensive preparation in use of assistive technologies, functional behavioral assessment, and instructional accommodatio…
Lessons for higher education: The university as a site of activism
Len Barton is acutely aware of the power of the academy to either enhance critical thinking or to depress it. He is a true academic, never accepting the received wisdom or perspective of any given sociological standpoint, no matter how powerful or fashionable it was at the time. He has encouraged and promoted a unique blend of professional and public sociology of education that has left a profound legacy not only in the United Kingdom but beyond.…

Conventions of Platonic Drama in the Heroic Plays of Orrery and Dryden
In a recent article on “The Sources of the Restoration Heroic Play,” Mr. William S. Clark discusses Elizabethan and French influences on heroic drama and supports the claim made by Sir Walter Scott, a century ago, that the heroic plays must be regarded as “the legitimate offspring” of the French heroic romances. Concerning the English influence, Mr. Clark observes: “In the face of this extensive dependence upon French suggestions the resemblances…
Reproduction in Education: An elaboration of current neo‐marxist models of analysis
This paper represents an attempt to develop current understanding of reproduction in education. Commenting on current neo‐Marxist models of analysis, we argue that more attention needs to be given to the universalising practices of schools if reproduction is to be fully understood. Drawing on evidence taken from a national study of Irish [1] schools, we show how the state's intervention in schooling can have universalising effects. However, we ar…

Equality in education: An equality of condition perspective
Transforming schools into truly egalitarian institutions requires a holistic and integrated approach. Using a robust conception of ‘equality of condition’, we examine key dimensions of equality that are central to both the purposes and processes of education: equality in educational and related resources; equality of respect and recognition; equality of power; and equality of love, care and solidarity. We indicate in each case some of the major c…
Neo-Liberalism and Marketisation: The Implications for Higher Education
This article is based on a keynote paper presented to the European Conference on Educational Research (ECER), University College Dublin, 5–9 September 2005. The massification of education in European countries over the last 100 years has produced cultures and societies that have benefited greatly from state investment in education. To maintain this level of social and economic development that derives from high quality education requires continua…

Care-less Citizenship? Public Devaluation and Private Validation
Given the influence of liberal thinking on Western political thinking, it is not surprising that issues of love, care and solidarity are also conspicuous by their absence from major debates about public policy (Baker et al., 2004: 28–29). Caring is defined as a private matter, an inadmissible subject within serious politics. Yet, the state plays a major role in determining the conditions for caring in most Western societies: it regulates paid wor…
