We are not ready’ – contradictions and contestations in basic education organising in South Africa at the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic
This article reflects on our participation in two efforts at education organising at the advent of the COVID-19 pandemicthe national C19 People's Coalition, and the Progressive Organisations Formation (POF).We suggest our experiences as participants in these movements reflect a broader political climate in South Africa in which large-scale, organised resistance is absent in the 'post-1994' basic education context.Using Gramsci's concept of 'inter…

We can play tag with a stick’. Children's knowledge, experiences, feelings and creative thinking during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Using a relational approach, we draw on repeated interviews with a group of 30 diverse children from Ontario to share and reflect on their knowledge, experiences and feelings early in the COVID‐19 pandemic. Prioritising relational interdependence and relational agency, this paper illustrates our participants' embedded engagements with the pandemic and their contribution to the co‐production of knowledge. We emphasise their thoughtful responses to…
Learning to lead for transformation
Lifelong learning as cruel optimism
This article seeks to examine how two discourses -of lifelong learning and techno-solutionism - tangle with each other in South African education policy imaginaries, particularly the latter discourse as a response to an (arguably manufactured) frame of "crisis". The author suggests that the discourse of lifelong learning constructs a relation of what Lauren Berlant terms "cruel optimism" for the marginalised majority of South Africans, sustaining…
Rehumanizing the graduate seminar by embracing ambiguity
This Viewpoint introduces the Athena Co-Learning Collective: A group of faculty and graduate students at the University of Georgia committed to teaching and learning differently in the academy. In particular, we describe the Athena Co-Learning Collective’s efforts to reject masculine forms of teaching and learning that are characteristic of the traditional seminar. Instead, we focus on rehumanization, as offered by Katherine McKittrick, to render…

This article examines medical-legal debates over the criminal responsibility of morphine addicts in the fin de siècle, at a time when the use of psychotropic drugs was not yet illegal. Addicted defendants argued that morphine had produced a temporary state of insanity at the time of the crime. However, medical-legal experts emphasized the regulatory influence of morphine over the addicted body, navigating between moralistic arguments about the pr…
