Many students bring complex trauma into their university experience. Sarah O’Shea and Maree Martinussen argue practical initiatives grounded within higher education realities are needed. https://loom.ly/fXHkDnA

Trauma awareness: A new priority for higher education

We want to understand how student trauma shows up in university spaces. And we also want to know how institutions might respond.

The federal government’s special envoy to combat antisemitism, has delivered a recipe for racial discord in schools and universities. Jane Kenway on behalf of Educational Researchers for Palestine explains how alternative and superior approaches are available and necessary. https://loom.ly/yQq_-uI

Why Segal’s plan to combat antisemitism in education is dangerous and should be rejected

Alternative and superior approaches are available and necessary - these recognise racism may be experienced differently by different groups.

Both in Australia and globally there is a turn towards a more critical and nuanced appraisal of the emotional experiences of teachers

This has significant consequences for sex education and inclusive education. Rhetoric like this combined with a lack of specific teacher training and vague "controversial issues" policies primes teachers to see LGBTQ+ wellbeing as a risky 'political' issue. 🌈🎓

More on 'Adolescence', featuring commentary by University of Adelaide's Sam Schultz and @drstephaniewescott.bsky.social at Monash www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

The Adolescence alarm: ‘If there’s a problem with boys’ behaviour, it’s because of us’

Millions have been gripped by a story of toxic masculinity in children that’s been called a ‘wake-up call’. But is it a moral panic, and how should we respond?
