Adab and Islamic Education in Singapore
This paper explores the concept of adab in Islamic education in Singapore and argues that it is an integral but relatively misunderstood and neglected concept. Adab is a term that embraces holism and forms the basis of an epistemic framework of an Islamic way of knowing. It is concerned with the education of the intellect and the spirit in the development of a morally upright person. Adab is also considered to be a set of ethical values serving a…
Maligned mobilities, absences and emergencies
Refugees are seldom admired or applauded for their resolve and resilience, and their post and pre-migration experience rarely serves as the basis for the development of educational practice or policy solutions. Using a postcolonial theoretical framework this paper argues that while the maligned mobility and disparaged figure of the ‘refugee’ serves to establish and reconstruct exclusionary national identities, the same identities can be re-presen…
Equity, Opportunity and Education in Postcolonial Southeast Asia
Equity, Opportunity and Education in Postcolonial Southeast Asia addresses the ways in which colonial histories, nationalist impulses and forces of globalization shape equity and access to education in Southeast Asia. Although increasingly identified as a regional grouping (ASEAN), Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines are known for their vastly different state structures, political regimes, political economies and e…
Reconciliation and Pedagogy
Reconciliation is one of the most significant contemporary challenges in the world today. In this innovative new volume, educational academics and practitioners across a range of cultural and political contexts examine the links between reconciliation and critical pedagogy, putting forward the notion that reconciliation projects should be regarded as public pedagogical interventions, with much to offer to wider theories of learning. While ideas a…
Framing adaptive capacity through a history–futures lens
Hybrid Pedagogies for Sustainability Education
In the pseudo-documentary The Age of Stupid (Armstrong 2009), a historian from 2055 scans the remnants of civilization and asks why, in the early twenty-first century, we didn't save ourselves when
A method for building community resilience to climate change in emerging coastal cities
Student satisfaction, teacher internships, and the case for a critical approach to international education
In recent times distinctions between the economic and political imperatives of international education and its cultural and educational aspects have become conveniently aligned. This alignment is troubling because it allows the pursuit of profit to fit neatly and without apparent controversy into the pursuit of more lofty political cultural and educational goals. Measures of student satisfaction with international education do little to challenge…
The Conquest of the Peri-Urban
This paper takes the case of the proposed building of the Traveston dam on the Mary River in Australia to examine the ways postcolonial power relations are played out in city/regional relationships to further the interests of the city. Postcolonialism is concerned with unravelling multiple histories of colonialism, and identifying the reproduction, contestation, ambivalence and transformation of modes of domination and subordination in colonial r…
Living in the NOW
Narrating Our World (NOW) was an arts-based project that attempted to understand the educational experience of refugee young people. This article reflects on understandings generated during the course of the project. Rather than seeking a direct and explicit means of discussing young people's experience, the project made a deliberate effort to create a flexible and open space for activity and discussion led by the interests and enthusiasm of part…
Schooling and settlement
Schools are a stabilising feature in the unsettled lives of refugee students. They provide safe spaces for new encounters, interactions and learning opportunities. They also deliver literacy, the key to educational success, post‐school options, life choices, social participation and settlement. Currently Australian schools are poorly funded and ill‐equipped to provide effective English as a Second Language teaching and support. A new cohort of re…

Eurasian Persuasions
Eurasians are ‘in’. We are the poster children of globalisation. In Asia, and increasingly in the West, mixed-race Eurasian models charm us with their cosmopolitan chic. Terms previously used to demarcate impure outsiders such as Eurasian mixed-race, hybridity, mestiza, hapa, haafu, Euro-Asian and Anglo-Asian have recently been given an affirmative spin. This essay argues that the appeal, allure and persuasions of Eurasian/mixed-race are as much …
Desperately seeking the global subject
This article takes the case of international education and Australian state schools to argue that the economic, political and cultural changes associated with globalisation do not automatically give rise to globally oriented and supra‐territorial forms of subjectivity. The tendency of educational institutions such as schools to privilege narrowly instrumental cultural capital perpetuates and sustains normative national, cultural and ethnic identi…
"Visual Culture and Critical Pedagogy in "Terrorist Times
Instant access to visual images and emotional accounts of terrorism have secured them a vivid place in our memory and reinforced the idea that â weâ have been targeted and are under immediate threat. Fear and the sense of belonging to an innocent, victimized, and threatened group, under attack from irrational, malevolent, and uncontrollable â othersâ , is a significant feature of â terrorist timesâ in Western nations. These identities and feeling…
Racialised Schooling, 'Ethnic Success' and Asian-Australian Students
Based on discussions with Asian-Australian young women at a mixed-sex, Australia State high school, this article argues that the pro-school conformity of Asian-Australian young women sets them in a problematic and precarious relationship to the material and symbolic and processes of racialisation. The first part of the article identifies the limitations of research into the pro-school/anti-school orientations of minority students, arguing that mo…

Judgements on Justice
Aboriginal reconciliation is a process intended to address indigenous disadvantage through education and the promotion of a wider understanding of the unique position of indigenous Australians. The emergence in Queensland of an extremist, right wing political force, explicitly antagonistic to issues fundamental to the process of reconciliation, has alarmed educators and teachers. While a good deal of attention has focused on the views of adults, …
Hybrid Muses and Other Sorts of Romances
A Vietnamese Flag and a Bowl of Australian Flowers
This paper looks at the relationship between the discourses of racism and sexism and the configuration of school space in an Australian high school. I argue that school space is proliferative of racialised and sexualised divisions. Divisions can be identified between groups of 'Asian' girls, between 'Asian' girls and 'Asian' boys, and between 'Asian' students and 'non-Asian' students. While these divisions are legislated by discourses of racism a…
