  • Engaging diverse voices across sites of curriculum making in Australia: Realities and possibilities

    Open AccessKerri Anne Garrard, Rebecca Cairns et al.ARTICLEThe Australian Educational…2025

    Research to date has pointed out that during periods of curriculum reform, public debate gets politicised resulting in an over-emphasis on top-down approaches to curriculum making. As a group of curriculum inquiry researchers, we are concerned that teachers, students, school leaders and community organisations are often side-lined as integral curriculum actors in curriculum making processes. This paper challenges top-down, discipline-siloed conce…

  • ‘Learning from history is something that is important for the future’: Why Australian students think history matters

    Open AccessRebecca Cairns, Kerri Anne GarrardARTICLEPolicy Futures in Education2024

    Research suggests young people generally do not perceive History to be a subject that is relevant to their lives and futures. Across the world, history curriculum policy regularly attracts public debate but, as it is usually dominated by political rhetoric, the students who experience it remain overlooked as policy actors with valuable perspectives. This article foregrounds the voices of Australian secondary school students by drawing on a nation…

    Open AccessB E Wood, Rosalyn Black et al.ARTICLETeaching in Higher Education2024

    While the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic upon higher education institutions has been well documented, less is known about how academics themselves responded to these rapid changes. This paper analyses the experiences of teacher education academics from Australia and New Zealand (n = 13) who were interviewed during lengthy pandemic lockdowns. Whilst rarely using the language of resistance, participants revealed multiple ways they navigated…

  • The status of History in the subject-selection ‘marketplace’: Insights from Australian students

    Open AccessRebecca Cairns, Kerri Anne GarrardARTICLEProspects2024

    Concern about declining enrollments in senior school History subjects has been a regular feature of history education discourse in Australia for at least 30 years. This concern is also evident in international discourse about History being a subject “in crisis”. In Australia and elsewhere, there has been increased speculation about the reasons History enrollments are contracting. However, students are not often included in these discussions, and …

    Open AccessJuliana Ryan, Kerri Anne Garrard et al.ARTICLEDiscourse Studies in the Cultural…2024Cited by: 1References: 29

    As an epoch-making event, Covid re-set understandings of teacher professionalism, raising the question what it might now mean to be a ‘professional teacher’. This paper draws on data from interviews conducted in 2021 with eight academics employed in Australian teacher education programs as part of a wider study, Critical Times: Producing the Global Graduate in a Pandemic. It uses ‘big D’ Discourse analysis to explore complex constructions of the …

  • Ambiguities and tensions in the construction of 'global' graduates

    Open AccessKerri Anne Garrard, Juliana RyanARTICLEDiscourse Studies in the Cultural…2023Cited by: 2References: 22

    Increasingly, competing discourses shape tensions between the role of the contemporary university and the global markets in which universities must exist. This paper draws on the examination of interviews with nine education academics in Australia to illuminate the construction of ‘global’ in the production of the global graduate (GG). Discourse analysis is used to explore how, against the backdrop of COVID 19, participants construct different id…
