This paper examines how queer joy in digital spaces is platformed, performed, and imagined through discussions and collages created during a participatory workshop in the North of England. By exploring current and desired forms of queer joy in digital spaces, we evaluate opportunities and challenges for design, including selective anonymity and disclosure, and flexible group boundaries to protect safety whilst also signalling in-group belonging. …
The Influence of Earning Industry Certifications on High School Graduation
Dropping out of high school creates barriers to economic self-sufficiency. Career and technical education (CTE) may help students engage with school by showing the connection between school and work.

This paper uses a quasi-experimental design to examine the association between certifications and on-time high school gr…

Climbing magazines from the 1970s to the 2000s, originating as a product of male-dominated climbing cultures, provide a rich illustrative source for embracing visual methodology.

This study investigates the distribution of math teachers with a major or certification in math using data from the National Center for Education Statistics’ High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). The authors discuss the limitations of existing data sources for measuring teacher qualifications, such as the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), and show how HSLS:09 can be used to analyze the distribution of qualified teachers in mathemati…

Joas conceives of creativity as a response to the frustration of 'prereflective aspirations,' which necessitates innovative adjustment to reestablish habitual intention…
Interpersonal Influences and Educational Aspirations in 12 Countries
Research in the United States has found that peers and parents play an important role in shaping students' educational aspirations. Little research has examined the extent to which these findings apply in other countries or whether the role of significant others varies according to the organization of national educational systems. This article examines the effects of peers' and parents' attitudes regarding academic performance on students' educat…
