This book explores the everyday ways in which time marks the
experience of education as well as the concerns and methods of
education and youth research. It asks: what do we notice afresh and
what comes into sharper view when temporality becomes a focal
point? What theories and ways of seeing offer new angles onto
temporality in interaction with space and place? In responding to
these questions, the book engages with approaches from sociology,
history, and cultural and policy studies. It brings critical
attention to the movement and layers of time in the memories,
aspirations, and orientations of educational actors - across lives,
generations, and diverse places. Informed by the politics of
local/global relations and new transnational formations, the
chapters feature case studies located in Australia, the UK, India,
South Africa, the Philippines, and Finland. Topics examined include
processes of social and educational differentiation in disruptive
times, affective practices, intergenerational dynamics, collective
memory, archiving, mobilities and migration, school spaces, and
difficult histories. The authors grapple with what is involved
methodologically in interrogating the times and places of education
- including the construction of educational ideas, problems, and
policy solutions - and in historicising the time and places from
which we research, write, and work

Somewhere between epic historical fantasy, sword and sorcery and
Tolkien-esque fantasy exists a thick vein of storytelling that
would make Robert E Howard and H.G. Wells proud. Following the
great success of our Gothic Fantasy, deluxe edition short story
compilations, Ghosts, Horror, Science Fiction, Murder Mayhem and
Crime & Mystery we present a compilation of savage swordplay,
and high magic, of daring deeds and gaudy battles, in a blazing mix
of classic and brand new writing, with authors from the US, Canada,
and the UK.
There is much discussion about what needs to change in education
institutions in the 21st century, but less attention given to how
core disciplinary studies should be considered within that context.
This book is based on a major 4-year research study of history and
physics in the changing environment of schools and universities in
Australia. Are these forms of knowledge still valuable for
students? Are they complementary to, or at odds with the concerns
about '21st century skills', interdisciplinary and collaborative
research teams, employability and 'learner-centred' education? How
do those who work in these fields see changes in their disciplines
and in their work environment? And what are the similarities and
differences between the experiences of teachers and academics in
physics and those in history? The book draws on interviews with 115
school teachers and university academics to provide new
perspectives on two important issues. Firstly, how, for the
purposes of today's schools and universities, can we adequately
understand knowledge and knowledge building over time? Secondly,
what has been productive and what has been counter-productive in
recent efforts to steer and manage the changes in Australia?

In a context in which explicit attention to the curriculum has been
sidelined in universities' strategy, this book makes an argument
for why curriculum matters, both in understanding the effects of
unbundled online learning and more broadly. It takes up two
particular curriculum issues which are amplified in an unbundled
context: differences in the formulation of curriculum between
disciplines and professional fields, and the extent these are
recognised in university strategy; and the push for constructivist
pedagogies, and its effects on curriculum construction. Since the
onslaught of MOOCs in 2012, unbundled forms of online learning
offered via partnerships with external online program management
and MOOC providers have grown significantly across the university
sector. There has been much debate about the implications of these
partnerships but the focus has predominantly been on the engagement
of students and their learning. This book takes a different and
novel approach, looking instead at the effects on curriculum and
knowledge. Drawing on selected case studies, the book reflects on
how university leaders and academics engaged with MOOCs and other
forms of unbundled online learning in the early 2010s, and the
effects of these reforms on curriculum practice. It captures in
detail the complex and difficult work involved in university
curriculum making in a way rarely seen in discussions of higher
education. And it generates new in-sights about some of the
critical problems manifest in the ongoing moves to embrace
unbundled online learning today.
