Tensions and contradictions: Exploring post‐primary teachers' perspectives and experiences of students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
This article presents findings from a mixed methods study which explored the perspectives and experiences of post‐primary teachers in Ireland regarding students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Using an anonymous online questionnaire ( n = 239) and semi‐structured interviews ( n = 8), this research examined teachers' views and opinions of ADHD, its impact in the classroom and their experiences with diagnosed students. Teacher…
Gendered expectations on the recognition of ADHD in young women and educational implications
Although sometimes perceived as a well-known condition, there are numerous aspects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which we do not fully understand. Given the preponderance of previous ADHD research with males, the need for understanding females’ experiences of living with the condition is pressing. This article presents research findings from a study conducted in Ireland which examined the social and academic experiences of 17…
Gender in initial teacher education: Entry patterns, intersectionality and a dialectic rationale for diverse masculinities in schooling
This paper contributes to debates about gender and diversity in teaching. Exploring the underrepresentation of males, socially constructed as a privileged group, is a complex task for researchers working within a social justice framework. Drawing on a national dataset (N = 5,627), we explore entry patterns to primary and post-primary Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programmes, socio-demographic backgrounds and career motivations of male and femal…
Collective intelligence for advancing ocean literacy
Ocean literacy is an understanding of the ocean’s influence on us and our influence on the ocean. A lack of ocean literacy presents a significant obstacle for citizens to engage in environmentally sustainable behaviour, and thus is acknowledged as a ‘complex problem’ that requires deliberative participation and joint-action by stakeholders across domains. The aim of the article is both to demonstrate the value of Collective Intelligence (CI) as a…
Men and Teaching: Good Intentions and Productive Tensions
This article points to the complex context of what often is seen as both unproblematic and problematic simultaneously—men and teaching. In addition to brief words on the articles included in this special issue of JMS, the Guest Editors reflect on the contradictions, tensions, strategies and experiences of men who teach. This introduction aims to cultivate a greater awareness of the personal and political debates from which this collection of rese…

Dialectical imagery and postmodern research
This article suggests utilizing dialectical imagery, as understood by German social philosopher Walter Benjamin, as an additional qualitative data analysis strategy for research into the postmodern condition. The use of images mined from research data may offer epistemological transformative possibilities that will assist in the demystification of illusory modernist methodological frameworks, and invites postmodern interpretations of subjective e…
Boys' Bodies in School: Physical Education
High school is a time when boys' bodies are under (re)construction; they are developing and changing at different rates and “measure-up” to hegemonic masculinity in different ways. This article explores memories of masculinity and body images in school with a focus on physical education classes. Masculinities are regulated and “sorted” both within the social and psychic realm. The experiences of those interviewed help to illustrate various contra…
