Inclusive ideals, managerial realities – How discourses on inclusion responsibilise school leaders’ professional practices
This article examines how dominant global discourses on inclusive education responsibilise the professional practices of two school leaders in Germany and Romania. Drawing on data from a larger European Union-funded comparative research project on disability inclusion in education, our discourse analysis is theoretically informed by Foucault's concepts of discourse and power. The findings suggest that inclusion operates in two distinct ways: firs…
Constructing solidarity through social justice in education
Trade union collaboration on issues of social justice connects workers to each other and to their wider communities and is therefore considered a strategy of union renewal. Prior to their amalgamation on 1 January 2023, Lärarförbundet (Swedish Teachers’ Union) and Lärarnas Riksförbund (National Union of Teachers in Sweden) collaborated intermittently to challenge educational injustices in the highly segregated Swedish school market. Through docum…
Confronting the disadvantage gap
Students with low socio-economic status (SES) often have lower levels of academic achievement. In England, various UK governments have sought to address this disadvantage gap through reforms to national large-scale assessments, school accountability mechanisms, and educational governance structures. While scholarly research highlights the important mediatory role of educational leaders in policy implementation and student performance, typologies …

Within this matrix of interdependent relations, schools operate under increasingly hybrid accountability arrangements in which public accountability can both complement and compete with market and social regimes and their associated institutional logics, goals, values and mechanisms. During th…
All in this together? The reconstitution of policy discourses on teacher collaboration as governance in post-crisis Europe
With the rise of network governance, and its concomitant fragmentation of public education systems across Europe, international studies have recommended teacher collaboration as a means to bring educational stakeholders together. Yet, despite some agreement over the potential benefits to student, professional and organisational learning, there is limited comparative research into the policy response of national governments to this recommendation …
