  1. Queer(y)ing New Schooling Accountabilities Through My School: Using Butlerian Tools to Think Differently About Policy Performativity.Christina Gowlett - 2015 - Educational Philosophy and Theory 47 (2):159-172.
    This article takes the role of provocateur to ‘queer(y)’ the rules of intelligibility surrounding new schooling accountabilities. Butler’s work is seldom used outside the arena of gender and sexualities research. A ‘queer(y)ing’ methodology is subsequently applied in a context very different to where it is frequently associated. Empirical data from a case study secondary school in Australia are used to contextualise the use of queer theory in thinking differently about new schooling accountabilities and how they can unfold in ways that (...)

  • ‘Cruel Optimism’ and Contemporary Australian Critical Theory in Educational Research.Mary Lou Rasmussen - 2015 - Educational Philosophy and Theory 47 (2):192-206.
    Abstract‘Cruel optimism’ is a term coined by Lauren Berlant. In conceptualizing this term, Berlant draws on the resources of critical theory to interrogate people’s desires for things they think may improve their lot, but actually act as obstacles to flourishing. This notion may be useful for analysing the current state of education in Australia, and the desire to believe that My School, and the associated data it provides, will enable schools to address social inequalities. For Berlant, the promise of such (...)

  • Advocating a Post-structuralist Politics for Educational Leadership.Richard Niesche & Christina Gowlett - 2015 - Educational Philosophy and Theory 47 (4):372-386.
    Post-structuralist discourses have usually been associated with forms of critique and deconstruction of social, cultural and philosophical phenomena. However, this article attempts to provide a generative approach to understanding educational leadership through Michel Foucault’s notions of power and subjectification, and Judith Butler’s notions of performativity and discursive agency through re-signification. We argue that leadership is not simply a list of traits, characteristics or behaviours to be implemented. Rather, we argue that leaders are performatively constituted through everyday practices and discourses. The (...)

  • “Plugging in” epistemology: A theoretical and methodological manoeuvre in qualitative research.Genine Hook - 2015 - The Qualitative Report 20 (7):982-995.
    In this paper I aim to illustrate how an epistemological three-way manoeuvre I propose may work in qualitative academic research. Epistemology is critical to my research because I live the topic that I research and in this paper I chart a three-way manoeuvre between and through an articulation of my researcher self, theoretical framing and the intent of the research project. This paper is my response to Jackson and Mazzei’s work “Plugging One Text into Another: Thinking with Theory in Qualitative (...)
