Towards transformatory critique: Reframing curriculum for student focus
In this conceptual paper I present an argument from a critical theoretical perspective that it is the role of all universities to enable students’ criticality development. Considering criticality development as ‘critical being’, I argue that higher education needs to focus less on what students know and more on how they can enact the knowledge, skills and competencies they develop, and their critical engagement with the world they inhabit. To do …
Illustrating improvement: Storyboards as tools for exploring staff CPD and its benefits to students in a Scottish university
This article explores how academic staff perceive the relationship between their engagement in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and student outcomes. Drawing on a qualitative study conducted at a Scottish university, we used storyboarding to capture the experiences of 29 staff members across multiple disciplines. Participants reflected on how both formal (e.g. PgCert programmes) and informal (e.g. peer discussions, reflective practice) C…

Tempered radicalism: A model for navigating academic practice and identity in the twenty-first-century neoliberal university
This article explores Meyerson and Scully's concept of ‘tempered radicalism’ (1995) in the context of contemporary academic practice and identity.

We explore how the concept of tempered radicalism allows us to consider our own actions and abilities to drive chan…

The Subject of Retirement
This paper examines the ”subject of retirement,” one of the most intimate governmental technologies of our present. It extends Read’s argument regarding Foucault’s views on neoliberalism, by providing explicit examples of the technologies of neoliberal government. Read drew attention to the intensification of governmentality by which neoliberalism has operated, and its pervasion into every aspect of society as the individual-as-citizen is transfo…
Standardized testing and the construction of governable persons
While debates over standardized testing are ubiquitous, there has been relatively little consideration of how today's standardized testing practices have arisen. The current study provides a chronology of standardized testing within Alberta, Canada. Starting from prior work by Foucault and others on ‘governmentality’, we propose that the movement to standardized testing be viewed as part of a larger societal movement toward techniques of governme…
