Prevention of violence against LGBTIQ+ youth
The hyphen in between
This paper examines how children are able to think intersectionally in a context of imagined nationalist discourses and geographies that shape children’s understandings of hyphenated and ethnic identifications. We draw on data from three different field studies we have carried out during the last two decades in a divided Cyprus which examine how Greek-Cypriot children categorize and understand the labels ‘Greek’, ‘Turkish’ and ‘Cypriot’ and their…

Globalisation, the challenge of educational synchronisation and teacher education
In this article, we set out from the challenge that globalising synchronisation – usually exemplified by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and World Bank initiatives – presents for education to argue that the time–space compression effected by globalisation must educationally be dealt with with caution, critical vigilance and a broadening of educational theoretical outlooks. We focus on the demands this raises upon the teacher…
Border encounters
The article draws on ethnographic material from an ongoing study which explores 10- to 12-year-old Greek Cypriot children's experiences of crossing to the north, the occupied part of Cyprus. By focusing on the act of crossing and the actual physical experience of visiting the occupied territories, the study seeks to highlight the mechanisms implicated in the construction of ethnic difference as children move through spaces and places and encounte…
The role of ‘Other Women’ in current educational transformations
The INCLUD‐ED project's case studies of successful schools in Europe reveal that there are advantages involved in opening schools to all kinds of women as far as educational and social inclusion is concerned. 'Other Women' – those whose voices have traditionally been silenced in academic settings – help in crucial ways to improve education when they have the chance to participate in multiple spaces and activities in the school. By participating i…
Transforming Violent Selves Through Reflection in Critical Communicative Research
Currently, teenagers are being socialized into a world of violent realities, not only through social interaction but also through interaction via the media, especially via the Internet. Research conducted using the critical communicative methodology has shown that this methodology helps young people to reflect critically about their violent identities in relation to their sexual and affective relationships. It presents opportunities for research …
Education in Real Time
In a globalizing world of intense intercultural and transnational interactions, learning and knowledge are becoming increasingly more standardized and homogeneous based on the assumption that the world is functioning in real time. This drive for standardization (expressed in practices such as harmonization of higher education, national curriculum standards and international testing) is facilitated in part by technological innovation and it takes …
The language of patriotism
This paper examines arguments about the teaching of history in Cyprus, especially as they relate to the cultivation of patriotism. I point out how the narratives of ‘sacred history’ and ‘dangerous memories’ are discursive elements of a pedagogy that aims at maintaining patriotism by preventing subjective and divisive personal memories from eroding a cohesive national narrative. Along with other linguistic strategies (‘passions of the past’), thes…
A Double Imagination
A primary objective of the Greek Cypriot educational system since 1974 has been to educate the new generation of Greek Cypriots about the part of the island that is occupied by Turkey and instill the desire for a reunification of the island. The phrase "I don't forget and I struggle" on posters hanging in classrooms has been central in this pedagogical endeavor. Educational systems have always played key roles in nationalist struggles. However, t…
