A Mixed-methods Study of How to Improve Primary-secondary Transitions in England
Primary-secondary school transitions are critical periods in children’s educational and emotional development, which pose heightened risk for poor attainment, attendance, social adjustment, and mental health, particularly for vulnerable children. Yet, the multiple challenges presented during this time remain difficult for English schools to manage without clear statutory guidance. Government reports consistently identify transitions as a systemic…
A Parallel Space of Care
Co-research brings young people’s lived experiences into dialogue with the structured norms of academic practice, often producing tensions around how research is authored and presented. This article explores opportunities and tensions of presenting co-produced research on young rural citizenship with a young co-researcher at an academic conference in Aotearoa New Zealand. Conferencing as an interactive mode of pre-publishing, where research is te…
Relationship between long-term exposure to sources of particulate matter, ambient air pollution and cognitive function in older adults
Long-term exposure to particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ) is associated with cognitive decline, but it is not clear whether the potential effects of PM 2.5 from different emission sources vary. This study aims to assess the association between PM 2.5 from different emission sources and cognitive function in older adults in Northern Ireland. Using data of the Northern Ireland Cohort of Longitudinal Ageing from wave 1 (…
The Criticality of Pacific Education – The Search for a Transformative Disciplinary Space
This paper is a collective talatalanoa by early to senior career education researchers and scholars seeking to make sense of Pacific education and its trajectory as a critical and transformative sphere within the broader context of education and education research within Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa NZ). The critical stance towards the education of diverse Pacific communities is well established in Aotearoa NZ and reflects ongoing settler‐colon…
Early career academics navigating the ecology of the university
Early career academics (ECAs) are negatively affected by the neoliberal university which encourages performativity, competition and a ‘publish or perish’ mentality. In this paper a group of four ECAs in the Aotearoa New Zealand context explore and navigate the neoliberal university through a collaborative autoethnography. Collectively, we adopt Barnett’s [2018. The ecological university: A feasible utopia . Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group.] fiv…
Engaging in research with Pacific communities as a non‐Pacific researcher
A key challenge for the cross‐cultural researcher is how to maintain authenticity in the stories of participants, paying careful attention to any inherent power imbalances. In this article, we share our respective experiences of conducting research with Pacific students and their families in Aotearoa New Zealand as non‐Pacific researchers. We discuss tensions we encountered regarding power and positionality, highlighting the importance of engagin…
