Socially aware design of interactive systems to combat gender-based violence in low-resource settings
In this paper, we examine the socio-cultural, technical, and organisational contexts surrounding Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response as a basis for designing interactive digital systems that facilitate multi-agency collaboration and strengthen GBV service delivery in resource-constrained environments. We address two research questions: (i) What socio-technical factors shape the design of digital systems that support multi-agency c…
Charting a Path for Disaster-Informed Social Work
This article documents the development of a free-to-access online social work in disasters continuing professional development (CPD) training course in England. The training is contextualized within adult learning theory and existing literature on social work training in disasters, as well as the contemporary CPD context in England. A small-scale pilot study of the training is also analyzed. The pilot found that the training course was overwhelmi…
Invisible leaders? Reviewing contemporary evidence about women leaders in education
This article reports the findings from a review of the scholarly literature concerning women leaders in education. The PRISMA1 approach was used to review the contemporary evidence (2014-2024) and 30 articles were identified that fully met the inclusion and exclusion criteria set for the review. A thematic analysis of the selected articles was undertaken, and five main themes emerged. Results suggest that the under-representation of women in lead…

Distributed leadership
Distributed leadership is one of the most influential and well-discussed ideas to emerge in the field of educational leadership. Prompted by the foundational and seminal work of Spillane et al. (2001) the idea of shared or ‘stretched’ leadership that incorporates both formal and informal leaders, has been of interest to researchers, policy-makers practitioners and educational reformers around the globe. Distributed leadership has captured the att…
Online Community and Citizen Science supports environmental science learning by young people
Community and citizen science in online settings could be seen as a means for young people to engage with and contribute to authentic science. Yet, there is a limited understanding of who takes part in citizen science among young people, what they learn, and through which processes, particularly in online settings. In this exploratory study, we analysed 34 in-depth interviews and log files of young people aged 11-19 years old who took part in cit…
Wiki moderators’ contributions to enhance the pedagogical implementation of Wiki
Wiki has proved extensively that it is an innovative technology situated among other so-cial network applications, because it enables its users to develop web content collaboratively, thereby making it open to all online users. The pedagogical use of Wiki is still in early stages; for this reason a lot of academic research has highlighted the lack of investigation into the pe-dagogical use of Wiki as a tool for collaborative learning.
