    Open Access•Adam Rajčan, E A Burns•ARTICLE•Sociology•2025•References: 42

    This study brings three empirical findings from the Australia-New Zealand region to considering the current state of sociology in this part of the world. Focusing on sites of institutional disciplinary reproduction, we point to the disappearance of sociology-named organisational units, the spread of sociological PhDs across university faculties and the interdisciplinary nature of sociology PhD journal publishing. In the constant restructuring of …

  • Men school teachers get bullied too: Examples from an Australian study

    Open Access•E A Burns, Rochelle Fogelgarn et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 5

    Studies of teachers targeted and bullied by students and parents have mostly been quantitative studies with few qualitative portrayals of the lived experience of teachers who suffer this discursively invisible bullying and harassment. The present study examines the accounts of three Australian male secondary teachers’ experiences of being bullied and harassed. Gender, in these accounts, is an ambivalent variable, simultaneously relevant yet in ot…

  • Publishing during a sociology PhD in Australia: Differences by elite and non-elite universities and gender

    Open Access•Adam Rajčan, E A Burns•ARTICLE•Journal of Sociology•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 37

    We examined the latest decade of Australian sociology PhD completions for differences in the number and quality of research outputs students published during doctoral enrolment. There was no evidence of a statistically significant difference between Go8 PhD students and their non-Go8 PhD counterparts in terms of either the quantity of research publications achieved, or the quality of these publications as measured by high-impact journals. There w…

  • Teacher talk on day-one of pre-service teacher educator classes: Performative class management

    E A Burns, Stephanie Palmer et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Education for Teaching…•2023

    Nine experienced university pre-service teacher educators used a collaborative autoethnography method to reflect on what they say to students on the first day of new classes and how their performance sets up the semester. Our group exchanges provided an opportunity to express long-developing values and practices embedded in individual’s teaching craft. The exchanges were often revelatory to other participants unfamiliar with the performative day-…

  • Breaking the silence: Three Pakistani women academics’ accounts of being bullied

    Roshana Kamran, E A Burns et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 11

    Women in Pakistan's higher education face barriers that silence their voices from reporting experiences of being bullied by colleagues and superiors. This situation contradicts universities' role as houses of learning and agents of progressively improving culture and society. This group autoethnography presents three accounts by women academics challenging this taboo against speaking out. Without the silence being repeatedly broken, this toxic so…

  • A “Participatory School” in Iran: A Bottom-Up Learning Approach in a Top-Down Education System

    Open Access•Bahar Manouchehri, E A Burns•ARTICLE•Education and Urban Society•2023•References: 57

    This article discusses how a bottom-up approach to learning can be positioned within a top-down educational structure. For the first time, Iran’s educational system has witnessed a shift from a one-dimensional teacher-centered approach to the triangular student-facilitator-parent approach. While the majority of children’s participative activities in Iran have pedagogical functions, the participatory type of school was established to prioritize th…

  • Bourdieu Might Understand: Indigenous Habitus Clivé in the Australian Academy

    E A Burns, Julie Andrews et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Educational…•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 56

    Bourdieu's concept of habitus clivé illuminates Indigenous Australians' experiences in tertiary environments for both Aboriginal students and Aboriginal staff. Habitus formed through family, schooling and social class is also shaped by urban, regional or rural upbringing, creating a durable sense of self. Aboriginal people in Australia live in all of these places, often in marginalised circumstances. Bourdieu's more specific concept of habitus cl…

  • The contested shift to a bicultural understanding of place heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand

    This article explores contemporary threads in the heritage history of Aotearoa New Zealand, as we witness in real-time the emergence of alternative narratives of Indigenous heritage, in contrast to those of Western dominated modernity and colonial hegemony. Moves to actively decolonise heritage studies is creating shifts in the bicultural understanding of culture and heritage to overtly include place heritage. This is explored here in a series of…

    Open Access•E A Burns•ARTICLE•Qualitative Inquiry•2022

    Tonlé Sap is the large fresh water lake-river near the geographic center of Cambodia. Visiting Tonlé Sap, following an academic conference in Phnom Penh, demanded a response at a personal and more visceral human level. Writing this poem attempted to express disquiet beyond academic examination of the biophysical dimensions of Tonlé Sap. The poem is sad for Tonlé Sap, for Cambodia, and implicitly for all of us on this planet. For thousands of year…

    Sociology has come late to the practice of publishing during PhD enrolment. This contrasts to fields such as science disciplines (STEM) and psychology where publishing during PhD is part of the disciplinary culture.

  • Placing regenerative farming on environmental educators’ horizons

    Open Access•E A Burns•ARTICLE•Australian Journal of Environmental…•2021

    Regenerative farming offers the promise of rapid carbon sequestration at global scale. Also called regenerative agriculture, it is largely absent in social science environmental discussions. Learning and teaching about regenerative farming has been left outside educational channels at many levels until now. Pastoral farmers themselves have been at the forefront of a renewal movement educating other land users how to farm beyond conventional Weste…

  • Participation as a right to the city: Iranian children’s perspectives about their inclusion in urban decision‐making

    Open Access•Bahar Manouchehri, E A Burns•ARTICLE•Children & Society•2021

    To assess children's willingness to participate in decision‐making about urban environments, Iranian children were invited to tell their stories about child inclusion in city affairs. The findings demonstrate children's enthusiasm to have a say, their suggestions of how their ideas can be integrated into planning, and their competency for participation. Despite their willingness, participants indicated awareness of patriarchal cultural views of c…

  • Perception, concern, competency: Children's understanding of physical and non-physical aspects of urban environment in Iran

    Bahar Manouchehri, E A Burns•ARTICLE•Children s Geographies•2021•References: 12

    This study explores how Iranian children perceive urban settings, what concerns they have in these environments, and examines their competency to accurately read or understand their lived urban environment. To achieve this, primary school students were invited to participate in a mixed-methods qualitative study. The findings present children's perceptions of physical and non-physical aspects of urban settings, each of these consisting of sub-them…

  • Banal Terrorism: Re-Appropriating Terror-Prevention Concrete Bollards in Melbourne’s CBD

    E A Burns, Annette D Pyatt et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Australian Studies•2021

    This article describes some of the ways in which Melbourne residents responded to the overnight installation of rough one-metre-cubed grey bollards in the city’s CBD following the 2017 vehicle attacks targeting pedestrians. We contend that the purpose of the bollards as protection from those wanting to harm “us” has resulted in the normalisation of the threat of terrorism, and its integration as an aesthetic part of Melbourne’s urbanscape. Reflec…

    Open Access•E A Burns, Edgar Burns•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2010•Cited by: 13•References: 15

    This article describes using email as a kind of interview. In a sociological study of professional career transition into law, on several occasions in that study, interview participants suggested using emails rather than face-to-face interviews. This 'irregularity' set off reflection whether email interviews counted as 'proper' interviews. Discussing examples of email interviews clarifies differences from other uses of email in research, and assi…

    An informal research project with high local relevance was developed for a first-year sociology course at an Australian rural university campus.

In describing the growth and consolidation of the club movement the concepts of state mediation and occupational heteron…

    Open Access•E A Burns, Edgar Burns•ARTICLE•Journal of Sociology•2013•References: 8

These are typologies as method, as a method–theory bridge, and as a theoretical mode of sociological thinking. The discussion explores ways in which each of these approaches to career transition may contribute insights or may simply complicate analysis. Positive and nega…

Developing concepts to reframe deeply inscribed racial beliefs and attitudes is one necessary step, but illustrating cultural racism can be even more important.
