Family language policy in immigrant families
Family Language Policy (FLP) has consolidated over the past two decades as a distinct field examining how immigrant families negotiate heritage language transmission, bilingual development, and cultural identity within the home. This scoping review maps the field through 86 empirical studies published between 2005 and 2025, identified through searches of ERIC, Scopus, and Web of Science. Rather than descriptively aggregating findings, the review …
Paternal Affection, Masculinity, and Fathers’ Parenting Self-Efficacy
Parenting self-efficacy refers to the confidence that parents have in their ability to successfully promote children’s development and to overcome parenting challenges. Yet how parenting self-efficacy unfolds in men remains largely unknown. Developmental ecological models of fathering suggest that fathers’ parenting beliefs, such as parenting self-efficacy, develop through a complex interaction of factors. In the present study, we examine two imp…
Words Within Walls
Creative writing programs offer prisoners a means of self-expression and rehabilitation, fostering self-reflection and emotional expression by encouraging introspection, channelling emotions, building resilience, and fostering creativity and identity. Despite numerous publications on these programs, there is a lack of summaries detailing the types of programs, providers, target audiences, and rigorous evaluation of the benefits. This scoping revi…
Effectiveness of Father-Focused Interventions to Prevent or Reduce Intimate Partner Violence During Pregnancy and Early Parenthood
During pregnancy and the early parenting period, women are especially vulnerable to intimate partner violence (IPV), with devastating impacts on women, children, and families. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the effectiveness of father-focused interventions to prevent or reduce IPV during pregnancy and early parenthood. Six databases were searched, using a combination of the concepts “fathers,” “pregnancy/early parenthood,” “IP…

A systematic literature review of attitudes, intentions and behaviours of teaching academics pertaining to AI and generative AI (GenAI) in higher education
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has outpaced existing research and regulatory frameworks in higher education, leading to varied institutional responses. Although some educators and institutions have embraced AI and generative AI (GenAI), other individuals remain cautious. This systematic literature review explored teaching academics' attitudes, perceptions and intentions towards AI and GenAI, identifying perceived benefits a…
What can the development of video visitation in Australian correctional centres tell us about organisational transformation
Correctional services are closed, complex bureaucratic organisations which are historically slow to embrace change. Yet, the COVID-19 pandemic catalysed a dramatic shift to widespread video visitation across correctional services in Australia. Drawing on qualitative data with corrective services staff (n = 19) from six jurisdictions (Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and West Australia), this art…
I've got more of a role to play”
Using interviews with 15 Australian fathers, we explored the impact of having spent time in COVID-19 lockdown on men’s views of their relationship with their children and family–work life balance. All interviewees were married to women and living with their children, most were employed and working full-time. Three themes were identified from the interviews: an ongoing desire to be present as a father, benefits to being present through COVID-19 lo…
Literacy beyond the home and the classroom
It is well established that environmental print, or text that is present in children’s environments, plays an important role in children’s literacy development. However, few studies have looked at the role of environmental print in children’s literacy development beyond the classroom and how this might shape children’s experiences of place more broadly. In this paper, we draw on work inspired by the social and spatial literacy turns to call for a…
Who does the reading, who the talking? Low-income fathers and mothers in the US interacting with their young children around a picture book
Bookreading is known to benefit young children’s language and literacy development. However, research has demonstrated that how adults interact around a book with a child is probably even more important than reading the complete text. Dialogic or interactive reading strategies can promote children’s language development more specifically. Little is known about how fathers engage in bookreading with their children. This study examined the differen…

The role of home literacy and language environment on bilinguals' English and Spanish vocabulary development
For the monolingual population, research has shown that vocabulary knowledge is closely related to reading achievement. However, the role of vocabulary has not been studied as extensively in the bilingual population. It is important to look at vocabulary to better understand reading achievement in the bilingual population in the United States. This study investigated the predictors of Spanish and English vocabulary for 96 fifth-grade Latino Engli…
