This book draws upon contemporary Irish and international research
which explores the critical interplay between education studies and
sexualities. Scholars from Ireland, Canada, Spain, the U.K. and
Sweden employ the conceptual lens of Queer Theory to interrogate
and destabilise long-standing regimes of truth/knowledge, and in so
doing, highlight the suitability and applicability of this
theoretical perspective within educational discourses. By reframing
and repositioning gender identity/expression as a performative
expression on a fluid continuum, this book provokes readers to
(re)view how they see education, pedagogy and schooling. The book
interrogates what happens to teaching, and teachers, when queerness
permeates their practice, thus exposing the ways in which
heteronormativity informs and shapes our places/sites of education.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the Irish
Educational Studies journal.

Doing Research in Education: A Beginner’s Guide is written for
the novice education researcher. It offers practical advice and
guidance for each step of the research process including choosing
what to research; formulating a research question; deciding on a
suitable research methodology; and writing a thesis. A range of
research methodologies are explored within the book and each
associated chapter outlines the suitability and applicability of
that methodology and offers concrete suggestions for its use.
Further chapters are dedicated to navigating the relevant research
literature; ethics; researching vulnerable groups; the use of
technology; conducting research through Irish; and connecting
research to teaching practice. The book’s chapters are written by
experienced education researchers, each of whom has extensive
experience of guiding students through their first education
research project as well as publishing widely within education
themselves. This book is carefully tailored to complement existing
research methodology modules and will support the student as they
navigate the challenges and rewards of undertaking research in
education.
A new cultural icon strode the world stage at the turn of the
twenty-first century: the celebrity scientist, as comfortable in
Vanity Fair and Vogue as Smithsonian. Declan Fahy profiles eight of
these eloquent, controversial, and compelling sellers of science to
investigate how they achieved celebrity in the United States and
internationally-and explores how their ideas influence our
understanding of the world. Fahy traces the career trajectories of
Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Steven Pinker, Neil deGrasse
Tyson, Brian Greene, Stephen Jay Gould, Susan Greenfield, and James
Lovelock. He demonstrates how each scientist embraced the power of
promotion and popularization to stimulate thinking, impact policy,
influence research, drive controversies, and mobilize social
movements. He also considers critical claims that they speak beyond
their expertise and for personal gain. The result is a fascinating
look into how celebrity scientists help determine what it means to
be human, the nature of reality, and how to prepare for society's
uncertain future.
