Balancing student privacy and technology integration in higher education: Engagement, encroachment and interstitial spaces
Inclusion or infringement? A systematic research review of students' perspectives on student privacy in technology‐enhanced, hybrid and online courses
This systematic review involved reexamining student perceptions of privacy in online, hybrid and technology‐enhanced courses. The research questions included identifying key findings from studies on student privacy. The researchers followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) methodology and completed three rounds of searching for studies, including general searches in Academic Search Complete and Educa…

Community by Necessity: Security, Insecurity, and the Flattening of Class in Fort McMurray
High wages in the oil sands well exceed the Canadian average, making complex class differences less apparent here than elsewhere. This lends itself to a homogenizing narrative of community despite differences in wages, background, citizenship status, and so on. Wolf's useful counter-framework outlines specific processes by which workers are situated, and by which they situate themselves, in labour hierarchies within the accumulation process. Draw…

Integration of qualitative evidence: Towards Construction of Academic Knowledge in Social Science and Professional Fields
In this article, we present an overview of the growing field of the integration of qualitative evidence. Based on an analysis of 177 syntheses published in a variety of professional and social science fields, they introduce a way of categorizing the various approaches that synthesists use to combine evidence derived from primary qualitative studies. Finally, they argue for the place of a constructionist approach when synthesizing findings from pr…

Affect Work and Infected Bodies: Biosecurity in an Age of Emerging Infectious Disease
The movement of viruses is, in part, enabled when frontline workers straddle the sites of where illness meets health or where mobile bodies meet those that are fixed. Using the 2003 SARS outbreak in Toronto as a lens, this paper explores the neoliberalisms and managerialism that render nurses and hotel housekeepers vulnerable, then turns attention to how their affective immaterial labour was simultaneously demanded and dismissed during the outbre…
Faculty Knowledge of Influences on Student Learning
This article comprises findings from a research project investigating faculty pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). The research took place at a private university in the southern United States that had been involved in a campuswide project to improve teaching. Drawing on qualitative methods, we describe several significant aspects of faculty PCK. We suggest an iterative process by which faculty can blend their knowledge of teaching and learning t…
