Can We Even Get Back to Normal? Understanding Educational Responses in (Post)Pandemic Contexts
In this essay, Corrine M. Wickens, Michael Manderino, and Sarah O’Leary-Driscoll examine impacts of the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent controversies, such as book bans, on education. Drawing on the sociological perspective of anomie and the scientific principle of entropy, the authors propose a framework for understanding differing reductive and productive educational responses. Anomie and entropy provide unique, but also synergist…
Struggling in the Heartland
Like many adolescents who struggle with academic reading tasks, Suzanna (pseudonym) demonstrated a strong aversion to academic reading beginning in first grade. Secretly, however, Suzanna was a reader—an avid reader of romance literature she believed would not be deemed acceptable for use in school. To protect her burgeoning literate identity, Suzanna hid her passion for reading romance stories and embraced a public persona of literate failure. R…

I am Kichwa”
To counter ongoing NES/NNES, NEST/NNEST dichotomies and the essentializing of NNESs (Ellis, 2016), we examine the personal and professional tensions of an Indigenous Ecuadoran NNES teaching in a dominant Spanish‐speaking context. We attend to the ways Roberto (pseudonym) responds to his students and his peers through the lens of his Kichwa identity, the historic oppressed positionality of and ongoing prejudice toward Indigenous peoples in Ecuador…
Integrating Literature in Physical Education
Incorporating children’s and young adult literature in school curriculum has the ability to support academic learning across many disciplines, yet few examples exist effectively demonstrating how to integrate such literature into physical and health education classrooms. We offer several different examples of integrating children’s and young adult novels across multiple grade bands. We specifically describe how incorporation of picture books can …
Using Content Literacy Tools to Create Anticipation in Physical Education
Anticipatory activities provide physical educators powerful opportunities to build relationships with their students, activate and assess background knowledge, and pique students’ interest in the day’s lesson. In this article, we present four literacy tools that can be easily implemented into anticipatory components of physical education lessons. These literacy tools include: Interest and Attitude Inventories, Knowledge Ratings, K-W-L, and Predic…
The Numbers Are Eye Popping”
In this article, we examine newspaper accounts of same-sex demography to examine how journalists use U.S. Census Bureau statistics to discuss changes in lesbian and gay households from 1990 to 2015. We utilized Foucault’s discussion of discourse and discussed what we call statistical consciousness, the use of statistics in everyday life. We support these findings with qualitative examples of each same-sex household increase to show how journalist…
Shifting Identities
I Wouldn’t Bring in Anything that Could Be Challenged”
Rooted in protectionist discourses, would-be censors regularly frame censorship and book challenges as defenses against portrayals of deviance and social ills. Such concerns often feed into social control of community values and moral panics around the degradation of children’s presumed innate innocence. In this study, we investigated perceptions of public K-12 educators regarding the inclusion or exclusion of controversial materials in schools. …
Reflexivity in the interstices
This article is a story of how the authors came to make sense of the significance of those words in relation to gender, race/ethnicity, and citizenship in writing a manuscript about L1L2 acquisition. It is a tale about how Reflexivity wove itself into the conversations, into the writing, into the in-between spaces, the interstices of the research and the writing. To this end, Reflexivity acts as a character interjecting itself into the journal na…
Habits of Practice
In recent years, disciplinary literacy has been at the forefront of adolescent literacy research and practice but has largely focused on the four core content areas: English language arts, social studies, science, and mathematics. Drawing on a physical education lens, this article is a call to expand the definitions, approaches, and framework of disciplinary literacy by examining three critical issues for disciplinary literacy: focus on the disci…
The investigation of power in written texts through the use of multiple textual analytic frames
Although often used as secondary sources, written texts are powerful sources of data for qualitative researchers to explore power networks and broad ideological perspectives. As such, I present in this paper an analytic process that draws upon multiple analytic frameworks – constant comparative analysis, discursive textual analysis, and traditional literary analysis – based in three different disciplines to explore intersecting forms of power exh…
Homophobia and heterosexism in a college of education
In this study, we examine how broad heteronormative discourses circulate, become embodied within, negotiated by, and potentially resisted within a university, a college of education, and educators themselves. We pay special attention to how heteronormative discourses at Southwestern University (SWU) impact the various roles this college of education undertakes to train professionals in a range of human service occupations, most notably K‐12 schoo…
