Investigating the implementation of a community of practice (CoP) in the advancement of antiracist education in contemporary Wales
Surveying and resonating with teacher concerns during Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic jolted teachers to the front line of complex, under resourced negotiation of quality distance learning, whilst also being key communicators with students and families about how to be COVID safe. Media reports debated preschool and school closures and child safety, but scarcely considered teachers. Motivated by the silencing of teachers and extraordinary changes to education, we gathered as a group of nine educational researc…
Teaching and Learning in Covid-19: Pandemic Quilt Storying
Something changed during the pandemic; we attuned to a call. A call to action, breathing, support, activism, care, well-being, community, minimised mobilities, planetary health and our relations to all these things, and more. We are women working in education spaces across multiple communities, responsive to ongoing matters of concern (Latour, 2008), aware that our rhizomic connections have no middle or end. We use the method and metaphor of the …
Policy implications of collective agency for inclusion: Evidence from the Welsh context
Despite widespread commitment to inclusive education as government policy, global progress in the last two decades has been slow and uneven. This article explores the relationship between policy and its enactment to examine what conditions make inclusion available as a course of action within education systems. Focusing on learners with additional learning needs, evidence from the Welsh context is presented in relation to two policy turns in the …
Re‐imagining a decolonised, anti‐racist curriculum within initial teacher education in a Welsh university
Changes to the Welsh curriculum are becoming apparent. The Williams Report culminated in recommendations for schools and initial teacher education (ITE) on the inclusion and teaching of Black Asian and Minority Ethnic histories in Wales. The subsequent Welsh Government ITE action plan was designed to ensure the pro‐active recruitment of trainee teachers from Black and racially minoritised backgrounds in Wales. As a result of this legislation, a t…
Covid-19 Isolation and Quarantine Experience for Residential Students at a Large Four-Year Public University
Rapid identification and management of students with COVID-19 symptoms, exposure, or disease are critical to halting disease spread and protecting public health. We describe the interdisciplinary isolation and quarantine program of a large, public university, the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. The program provided students with wraparound services, including medical, mental health, academic, and other support services during their isola…
Perezhivanie, Art, and Creative Traversal: A Method of Marking and Moving Through Covid and Grief
As the COVID 19 pandemic spread globally, the experiences of loss were compounded by personal loss. Through this time of collective and individual grieving I set out to “traverse” the experience and figure my “perezhivanie” or lived emotional experience, through the materiality of mark making and entanglements with people, place, and art making. Art making framed by the “massive and microscopic” reflective prompts provided the opportunity for int…
Creative Formats, Creative Futures
As creative economies and industries continue to impact emerging markets and cultural conversations, creative education seems no more central to these conversations than it was a decade ago. Two recent Creativity Summits marked a collaborative milestone in the global conversation about creative teaching, learning, ecologies, and partnerships, signaling a turn from nation-based approaches to more globally-networked ones. This essay and the summits…
Drama, education and curriculum: Alive, kicking and counting
The battle to maintain the inclusion of drama within the curriculum appears to be never-ending, but targeted strategies and arguments for drama’s inclusion may need to be revisited and recalibrated. The important role of professional learning communities and activist communities of practice are identified as being integral to supporting sustainable educational change. This article provides a particular focus on curriculum developments in Australi…
Environmentalism, stories and science: Exploring applied theatre processes for sustainability education
The RiDE themed edition on Environmentalism and the response by Forgasz draw attention to some of the issues and dilemmas that arise when considering how to work with Applied Theatre practices to explore human/environment relationships, climate change and sustainability issues. This article shares initial findings from a pilot program that has involved undergraduate students participating in a study abroad program with a particular focus on susta…
A Balanced Approach to Local and Global Action
The hosting of the Balance-Unbalance 2013 International Conference in a UNESCO designated Biosphere Reserve was seen as a strategic opportunity to align the objectives and activities of Biosphere Reserves to the aspirations of Balance-Unbalance
Alternative scenarios for BRAC University
Purpose This article aims to present the scenarios, visions and strategies that resulted from a three day foresight workshop for BRAC University in Rajendrapur, Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach The workshops used the “six pillars” approach to foresight. The methods used included: The futures triangle, emerging issues analysis, the futures wheel, The Sarkar game and macrohistory, causal layered analysis, the integrated scenario method, visi…
Liveness, mediation and immediacy – innovative technology use in process and performance
Much of the discussion about the incorporation of technologies and mediatised components into performance has focused on the concept of liveness. This often leads to competing claims about the relative power of live versus mediatised performance and is not necessarily helpful for understanding the scope of opportunities now available for drama and applied theatre practitioners. Consideration of other relevant concepts such as mediation and immedi…
Effective programs for struggling readers: A best-evidence synthesis
Implications of Tenure Insecurity for Aboriginal Land Use in Canada
In Canada, Aboriginal peoples are succeeding at regaining portions of their traditional land base. Accomplished through the signing of historic treaties and the negotiation of comprehensive land claims agreements, nearly seven percent of Canada's entire land base is now under the administrative authority of Aboriginal governments. Notwithstanding these accomplishments, it remains unclear whether such territorial gains coincide with a heightened s…
What is StoryCorps, Anyway
This review draws on conversations the four coauthors had about the StoryCorps phenomenon, which we appreciate as a provocative, contemporary example of the public use of oral narratives. Like many...
Rethinking Devolution: Challenges for Aboriginal Resource Management in the Yukon Territory
After decades of state administration, indigenous peoples throughout the world are now succeeding, to varying degrees, in the reimplementation of self-governing institutions and administrative processes. This reorientation has been most observable in the context of natural resource management, where a major policy trend has been to devolve state authority and administrative responsibility directly to local levels. While the language of devolution…
Co-Management: Managing Relationships, Not Resources
Conclusions drawn from the body of co-management research generally agree that cultural diversity can enhance the pool of human resources from which management decisions are drawn. Based on the belief that group heterogeneity will generate a diverse set of problem-based solutions, co-management is being heralded as an emergent intellectual tradition to guide the stewardship of natural resources. However, research has yet to show under what condit…
The political ecology of Yukon forestry: Managing the forest as if people mattered
Over the past several decades a growing interest has emerged in the relationship between forest dependent communities and their use of non-timber forest resources (NTFR—i.e. berries, roots, barks). Motivated in large part by international concerns over the loss of biological and cultural diversity, efforts are now being made to conserve the world's remaining forests by repositioning NTFR to the forefront of the forest management process. Together…
Attitudes of Young African American Fathers Toward Early Childbearing
Findings may help in developing gender-appropriate interventions to delay early childbearing and prevent HIV/STD transmission
Aminina Nud Mulumuluna (“You Gotta Look After Yourself”): Evaluation of the use of traditional art in health promotion for Aboriginal people in the Kimberley region of Western Australia
This research documents an evaluation of preventive health resources developed for Aboriginal people in the west Kimberley region. The project was a collaboration between The Jean Hailes Foundation for Women and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal health workers, educators and artists from Looma, Pandanus Park, Derby and Mowanjum. Traditional art and language provided a basis for cultural identity and imparting modern health knowledge. Two health bookl…
Proverbial Wisdom: Every Dog Shall have its Day
In this piece of experimental writing, the author uses the proverbial expression "every dog shall have its day" to explore her reactions to her mother's illness and her interactions with the health care establishment
Lisa Gilad
Lisa Gilad became of blessed memory to us on May 28, 1996 when she lost her life in a road accident. Since that day her friends and colleagues have met privately and publicly to articulate their feelings of loss and to memorialize Lisa in a worthy manner. This is my effort
Beijing: A conference of commitments

The Declaration and Platform expressed the strongest views on gender equality, empowerment, and justice that governments have ever endorsed. These documents were the consolidation of gains made …
