Resistance, Reform, and Reimagination
In settler colonial contexts, education remains entangled with the imperial project. Grappling with the work of reconciliation and redress, education authorities have begun rewriting curricula to respond to the colonial inheritance in subject English. In this paper, we read three official secondary English curricula – from Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, and Ontario, Canada – asking how each has responded to coloniality. Across these documents w…
Mathematical Disciplinary Literacy
This article discusses the benefits of adopting disciplinary literacy approaches in Mathematics. We propose disciplinary literacy practices foreground mathematical teachers' expertise and knowledge thereby enabling them to adapt generic literacy approaches to better address the specific literacy demands of the discipline. Specifically, we discuss how students' ability to write explanatory paragraphs (a component of a mathematical report) can be f…
Comedy and Masculine Hegemony
Since the early 2000s, there has been increasing scholarly focus on the representations of masculinities in children’s literature. In part, this is due to the growing field of critical studies in men and masculinities coupled with wider public concern about boys’ development and education. This paper contributes to this work by analysing constructions of masculinity in four popular humorous series for children: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2007–2022), T…
Consent and literary education

I challenge educators to become sponsors of queer literacies in order to disrupt a range of normative ideologies and o…
Spectral motherhood and maternal grieving
Written by adults for children, children’s literature plays a significant role in shaping readers’ identities and worldviews, including those relating to gender and death. In two Australian children’s novels, The Shape (2000) by Diane Bates and The Naming of Tishkin Silk (2003) by Glenda Millard, the generic depiction of motherhood meets new representational agendas relating to sudden unexplained death in infancy and grieving at a politically cha…
