Policy and Research Engagement in UK Higher Education. Policymaker and Expert Perspectives and Priorities
Policy and research engagement is a timely topic for researchers, decision‐makers, and higher education institutions that aim to promote engagement and impact. Examination of the complex research‐policy relationship in the higher education sector has been largely overlooked. This paper addresses this issue by presenting findings from in‐depth interviews with 11 UK higher education policymakers and experts on how higher education researchers can e…
International student mobility, Covid-19, and the labour market
The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in significant disruptions to both international student mobility and labour markets. Against this background, this scoping review documents findings from 35 studies, published between January 2020 and February 2024, that focused on international student mobility, Covid-19, labour market outcomes, and related regulations. The review shows that the Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted (1) the labour market outcomes …
Education, leadership and diaspora
This paper is a scoping review of literature exploring the range and nature of research activity regarding women leading education within marginalized communities in Australia and England. Such practice of women’s educational leadership regularly occurs beyond formal constructs of schooling, and is often immersed in the vulnerabilities of indigenous, diasporic and other marginalized populations, yet remains invisible in scholarship on leading edu…
Co-producing composite storytelling comics
Composite storytelling as a social qualitative research method represents a growing spirit of creativity to explore themes of social injustice. This article discusses the potential methodological affordances and challenges of such approaches when used to collectively unsettle, interrogate and (re)imagine what it means to become an academic of working-class heritage. The participatory project discussed in this paper involved eight social science a…
Learning from Each Other
Despite the potential for mutual learning, improvement of service provision, and the advancement of policy, research on first-generation migrant students and research on international students have remained stubbornly separate. This paper makes the case that education research would benefit from leveraging data on international students and that internationalization research and practice should more often include first-generation migrant students…
The world turned upside down
Political, social, environmental, and health challenges have questioned the relevance and sustainability of international student mobility (ISM). Strong critiques towards ISM stem from current global challenges but are also rightfully prevalent among scholars of internationalization. In response to the sustained critique of ISM, this article makes the case that—despite its limitations—ISM can contribute towards important public good outcomes and …
Academic Satisfaction of International Students at Irish Higher Education Institutions
Internationalization of higher education has increased the diversity of the student body at higher education institutions. There is evidence that the experiences of international students vary according to their region of origin, but trends on a larger scale remain underexamined. Drawing on Eurostudent VI data from the Republic of Ireland, this article investigates how academic satisfaction varies between students from different global regions of…
A capability approach to understanding academic and socio-emotional outcomes of students with special educational needs in Ireland
Using data from Ireland’s national longitudinal study of children, this paper employs a capabilities approach to disability to understand how individual characteristics as well as home and school environmental factors at age 9 relate to academic and socio-emotional outcomes of students with special educational needs (SEN) at age 17. Results suggest that young people with SEN register both lower average scores and make less academic progress betwe…
Exploring cumulative disadvantage in early school leaving and planned post‐school pathways among those identified with special educational needs in Irish primary schools
Reflecting the neglect of childhood disability in social stratification research, there is a notable dearth of research on the mechanisms underpinning disability differentials in educational outcomes. Drawing on rich longitudinal data collected at 9, 13 and 17 years as part of Ireland's ‘Growing Up in Ireland’ study, we look at the impact of special educational needs (SEN) identification in primary school on upper secondary outcomes. A bioecologi…
Does university prestige lead to discrimination in the labor market? Evidence from a labor market field experiment in three countries
Do employers prioritize university prestige above an applicant’s skills in the hiring process? To distinguish between the effect of human capital in the hiring process from the effect of the name of the graduating university—while controlling for networking effects—2,400 fictitious applications were submitted to IT and accounting jobs in the US, UK, and Australia. The resumes belonged to fictitious citizens, both female and male. For each sector …
Research Handbook on University Rankings
Gathering unique and thoughtful contributions from leading international scholars, this timely Research Handbook offers diverse perspectives on university rankings twenty years after the first global rankings emerged. It presents an in-depth analysis that reflects the current state of research on rankings, their influence and impact.
Magnifying inequality? Home learning environments and social reproduction during school closures in Ireland
COVID-19 school closures have seen the homeplace become a school-place for students and their families in Ireland. This paper presents research on the resources and supports available for students to engage with learning in their home environments. Evidence from a nationally representative survey comprising one third of second-level school leaders, conducted during the first school closures in 2020, shows that attendance and engagement appears to…
Postsecondary Outcomes of Innovative High Schools
Context Educational reform efforts have taken the form of different school models intended to reduce educational inequality. Personalized, interest-based schools and academically focused, “No Excuses” schools are two leading small-school designs with sharply contrasting approaches to innovation. Given mixed research findings about the successes and challenges of school reform models in the United States, it is imperative to understand how educati…
Special education reforms in Ireland
Ireland has a distinct and complex history regarding the education of persons with special educational needs (SEN) and in its approach to inclusion. Special and general education largely developed in parallel and separately. As recently as the 1990s, legal actions by parents seeking educational rights for children with severe disabilities prompted appropriate provision for these students and a shift towards inclusive schools. The Education for Pe…
