Teachers', parents', and pupils' perceptions and described experiences of toilet provisions and practices within English schools
This paper explores teachers', parents' and pupils' perceptions and described experiences of school toilet policies, provisions and practices within state‐funded primary (5–11 years) and secondary (11–16 years) schools in England.

Toilet talk: Using a students as researchers approach to problematize and co-construct school toilet policy and practice
School toilets around the world have been problematic historically, as places of shame, bullying, and inadequate facilities. This participatory pupil research project sought to develop political agency with young researchers, by equipping them with research skills to develop a research project about school toilets, to help challenge and shape their school’s policy and practice. We apply Sara Ahmed’s concepts of willful subjects and complaint (201…

Fiscal cuts in education and their effects: Politicising learned helplessness as a disciplinary technology in education leaders in Catalonia. An exploratory research study
The paper aims to explore how head teachers and other education service leaders and their teams have been experiencing shifts in their identities during the last decade of education cuts in Catalonia (Spain), and the possible effects during the current COVID-19 crisis on educational leaders. Our exploratory hypothesis covers the crisis years (2008–2015) and on into the non-recovery years (2015–2020) until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Durin…
The banality of education policy: Discipline as extensive evil in the neoliberal era
Education is usually considered a force for good, associated with hope and optimism about better individual and social futures. Yet a case can be made that education and education policy in recent decades, far from being a force for good, has had nefarious effects at multiple levels. This can be seen in the growing alienation of significant numbers of teachers and students in disparate global contexts and in the growth of authoritarian models of …
Democratic parent engagement: Relational and dissensual
In opposition to the discourse of silent compliance and the neo-liberal colonisation of voice, this article shares research with parents in an English primary school. Drawing on the work of Jacques Rancière and John Macmurray, the author argues that there is a need for a more relational but dissensual approach to parent engagement and voice, instead of parents being positioned by schools as support acts. Parent engagement, increasingly commodifie…
