Higher Education in the Time of Trump and Beyond: Resistance and Critique
The current Qualitative Inquiry partial special issue titled “Higher Education in the Time of Trump and Beyond: Resistance and Critique” is based on a similarly themed plenary panel that was to take place at the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry in 2020. Alas, like so many other events, it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic
Technologies of Governance in Context: Four Global Windows Into Neoliberalism and Audit Culture in Higher Education
This partial special issue of Qualitative Inquiry, titled "Technologies of Governance in Context: Four Global Windows Into Neoliberalism and Audit Culture in Higher Education," examines various aspects of the academic impact of neoliberal technologies from four context-specific locations that include Australia, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States, in addition to my own Canadian perspective in this introduction. It is based on a simi…

These practices, once meant to ensure quality and rigour, now instead operate as sites of subjugation, perverted by the audit culture so pervasive at my institution and, I would suggest, many others as well. The paper aims to interrogate a syst…
Creative Teenage Students: What Are They Telling Us About Their Experiences in (and Around) Our High Schools
This article highlights various approaches for accommodating and promoting creativity in high school students. Although in the past studies have addressed fostering creativity in our educational systems, few have sought the informative voice of the young creators themselves. The focus of the present study is primarily on environmental determinants of creativity as perceived by 13 (7 male, 6 female) creative seniors selected from a Canadian metrop…
