Resilient Democracy or Fragile Democracy? The Declaration of Martial Law and Presidential Impeachment in South Korea
This article investigates the implications of South Korea’s 2024 martial law declaration and subsequent presidential impeachment for the study of democratic backsliding and resilience. It engages directly with key debates: whether established democracies remain vulnerable to backsliding despite achieving consolidation, and how underlying structural factors contribute to democratic fragility. While South Korea has often been seen as a model of dem…
“Relinking Back to Community”
We begin this kitchen-table talk with personal offerings that reflect our connection to—and positioning within—this work. Drawing on our personal experiences, our commitments, and our histories, we discuss the importance of reclaiming and recovering indigenous ways of knowing and being, the importance and centrality of community, and the possibilities of educational settings—even while operating as colonial enterprises—as a site for connection. W…
La descolonización no es una metáfora
Nuestro objetivo en este artículo es recordarle a los lectores lo inquietante de la descolonización. La descolonización trae consigo la repatriación de la tierra y la vida Indígena; no es una metáfora de otras cosas que queremos hacer para mejorar nuestras sociedades. La fácil adopción del discurso descolonizador evidenciado por el creciente número de llamados a «descolonizar nuestras escuelas», o utilizar «métodos descolonizadores» o «descoloniz…

Toward What Justice?
Not Child but Meager
Drawing from Christina Sharpe’s In the Wake: On Blackness and Being, this essay uncovers the ontological eradication of “black child” in institutions of school and juvenile justice. This eradication is rooted in sexualized violence and the ungenderings of black children. Yet such institutions are ostensible forms of “care.” They hold black children’s bodies. Their metrics hold black children to standards of whiteness. They hold black children as …

‘Use Condoms for Safe Sex!’ Youth-led video making and sex education
Situated at the intersection between child-led visual methods and sex education, this paper focuses on the potential of youth-led video making to enable young people to develop guiding principles to inform their own sexual behaviour. It draws on findings from a video-making project carried out with a group of South African young people, which engaged them in identifying and tackling critical issues of HIV and AIDS. By analysing one of the youth-g…
Voice, authenticity and ethical challenges
Using the theoretical frameworks of childhood studies and visual ethics, this article explores ethical ways of engaging children and young people in disseminating self-generated visual data (‘participatory dissemination’) over social media. The discussion draws on a research project carried out with a group of young people in an underserved community in South Africa. The project was an educational intervention that aimed to enable the participant…
Participant Reflexivity in Community‐Based Participatory Research
Focusing on researchers, the predominant discourse on reflexivity has seldom considered the contribution that participants could make to research through their self‐reflections. To bring to light the significance of participants' self‐reflection in participatory inquiries, I develop the concept of participant reflexivity, referring to the process in which participants use insights gained through self‐reflection for data analysis and group discuss…

Participatory photography
This article draws on a participatory photography project conducted with 10 socioeconomically disadvantaged adult learners for six weeks within the framework of production pedagogy. Throughout the project, the participants took photographs about their lives in response to three prompts that I gave: (1) take photographs of people that are important to you; (2) take photographs of an event or your community; and (3) tell your experience or story th…
Unbecoming Claims
This article discusses the role of refusal in the analysis and communication of qualitative data, that is, the role of refusal in the work of making claims. Refusal is not just a no, but a generative stance, situated in a critical understanding of settler colonialism and its regimes of representation. Refusals are needed to counter narratives and images arising (becoming-claims) in social science research that diminish personhood or sovereignty, …

A Reflection on a Participatory Video Project
Youth resistance revisited
This special issue explores the possibilities and limitations of theories of youth resistance in educational research, and presents new and expanded theories of youth responses to injustices in schooling. Drawing from a range of discourses – including, but not limited to, critical theory, political economy, decolonizing theory, queer theory, critical race theory, and educational discourses that borrow from criminal justice, health, and sociology …
Rites to Reform
As neoliberal reformers are appointed to manage the "crisis" of U.S. public schools, their power has become a pressing reality for grassroots movements in education. I examine how the Small Schools movement in Oakland, California-just as the school district fell under state administrative control-employed rites of passage to socialize a grassroots identity: the reform officer. These rites represent a form of grassroots cultural power that disrupt…
