Full article: Revisiting credentialism – why qualifications matter: a theoretical exploration Gavin Moodie and I have just published an article on why qualifications matter. It is open access

Hello @crnetwork.bsky.social, with @leesawheelahan.bsky.social we published an article in @bjse.bsky.social. We theorise the person envisaged in the global education policy discourse based on #skills and propose an alternative based on #CriticalRealism. It's open access. See, doi.org/10.1080/0142...

In this article with Leesa Wheelahan, we use the critical realist concept of depth-ontology to examine personhood which is related to, but distinct from, human agency, social structure and the social context in which people practise their skills. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

@GavinMoodie & I have published an article entitled: What do vocational colleges do & why do they matter? Thinking about the role of colleges as local actors. Colleges are institutions and not providers in markets. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Hi all, Here is an encyclopedia article I wrote that seeks to explain different types of realism to grad students. Wheelahan, L. (2023). Realism and theorizing curriculum—the role of knowledge. If you can't get it, let me know and I'll send it to you: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
