This article addresses this gap, illuminating the specific employability challenges experienced and perceived by South Asian postgraduate international students enrolled in Australia and the UK. Drawing on qualitative research comprising semi-structured interviews with 30 South Asian postgraduate international students studying at a university in Australia and in the UK, the findings highlight significant barriers to employability along four key axes: time pressures from study and adjustment issues (micro); lack of internship opportunities offered at the universities (meso); lack of culturally tailored university career services (meso) and perceptions of employers’ as well as Government policy implications (macro). Acknowledging and understanding these findings are important for universities to support South Asian international student employability experiences and graduate outcomes to remain competitive in the global job market. The findings suggest recommendations to enhance the employability of South Asian students in the UK and Australia.","PeriodicalId":47509,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Studies","volume":"71 1","pages":"373 - 391"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43520665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the UK, this is evidenced by the relatively large number of REF2021 submissions that had a higher education focus, and the emphasis higher education institutions are increasingly placing on conducting their own pedagogical research (in some respects, driven by market imperatives). In addition, the field has become more strongly international in its orientation, with more collaborative work, and a greater number of scholars engaging with issues beyond their own nation-state.

Our research demonstrates the interplay between the blame for the ‘wrong’ type of school, leader, teacher, pupil, parent, and the claimed ‘solutions’ in the form of new schools (e.g., between 70 and 90 different types in England), organisations (e.g., MATs), professionals (e.g., CEOs), pupils (e.g., branded access to a school place), and parents (e.g., consumer choice).

The analysis draws on affect theory and especially feminist scholarly work that theorises militarism as affect to consider how militarism is affectively lived in schools. In particular, the article examines the ethical and political implications of affective militarism in schools and suggests an ‘affective methodology’ for exploring militarism’s affective logics in schools. It is also suggested that resisting militarism in schools involves a serious ethico-political dilemma, namely, how to engage with the value of honouring fallen soldiers without inadvertently condoning the moral and political ideology of militarism. In seeking insights into the affective dimensions of militarism in schools, it is crucial to identify the complicated, productive and ambivalent intersections between militarism in schools and broader moral and political economies of military cultures.","PeriodicalId":47509,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Studies","volume":"71 1","pages":"419 - 437"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48758653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Richard Aldrich was the original author of this book which Tom Woodin as coauthor has now revised and extended. I was taught by Aldrich, Dennis Dean and David Crook in the mid-1990s. Aldrich had also helped me with my successful ESRC Scholarship application which allowed me to progress to my PhD at Keele University (England) in 1994. Overall, I had a very good idea how rewarding Aldrich’s teaching, research and writing could be (Aldrich et al, 2000; Aldrich, 1982, 1988,1996, 2004; Crook and Aldrich, 2000; Gordon et al., 1991). The festschrift presented to Aldrich can also give the reader a better understanding of his reach and influence beyond his role as a respected domestic and international educational historian (Crook and McCulloch, 2007). The strengths of this UCL history are multiple, but I want to focus on three issues. Firstly, the book is more than an educational odyssey from training college to global institution as highlighted in the title. It is a book about the politics of education and how not only the early leaders of the London Day Training College like John Adams, Margaret Punnett and Percy Nunn navigated their own times, but how local and national policy issues can be underlined with more generic issues of accommodation and classroom resources. This became even more complicated as the need for teachers in both primary and an emerging secondary school sector grew in England in the first half of the twentieth century. In 1948, the Institute of Education was tasked with serving as the training body for the whole of the London area. Fred Clarke, G.B Jeffery, Lionel Elvin were all Directors of the Institute. Secondly, this book examines the relation between research and teaching. The development of funded research in the 1970s and 1980s: ‘ . . . further marked out the Institute as a unique institution among university departments of education . . . [This research focus] had few connections with the fundamental purpose of the London Day Training College and the Institute of earlier days – namely the initial training of teachers for London schools’ (178). On reflection, the contestation between teaching and research in higher education has been going on much longer than my twenty-five-year career but reading this book, I can see where and how long it has existed in the academy. I was advised by Pat Mahony that teaching informs research and research informs teaching within education which in turn makes the academic. However, that equation – although one I still advocate – seems naïve when reading this book, individual subjectivities, the evolving education market politics in England, let alone London, since 1979 and the division of the majority of academic contracts in higher education into teaching or research in the twenty-first century also have impact.

Táíwò’s examination shows how the distribution of environmental risk and vulnerability within and across countries and populations is tied to the structural accumulation of advantages and disadvantage owing to the global racial empire. Signposting some pathways to justice, the book outlines the ‘targets and tactics’ that a constructive view of reparations could entail: unconditional cash transfers, global climate funding, abolishing tax havens, divesting from fossil fuels and investing in communities, not least community control and solidarity. In each, there are actors (institutions, states) who bear more of the burden to enact these shifts. But how might these liabilities be collectively recognised and agreed upon, especially by those required to give things up? Readers of this journal might recognise the potential role of education here: the deliberation that can be at the heart of pedagogic relationships; the possible impulse of education to co-create meaning, understanding and ideals. While education is, perhaps understandably, not a central theme within Reconsidering Reparations, there is much in it for the education theorist to pick up. After all, matters of epistemic justice, deliberation, and building new solidarities are key to the project of reparation as much as it is to the project of education. Moreover, the future-oriented view of reparation – its commitment to build something new – offers a framework for thinking through the futures of education too. The lens of reparation can offer a radical vision for education, one that goes beyond the piecemeal incrementalism of reform which by and large leave the conditions of educational injustice in place. Instead, a ‘reparative future of education’, as I have written about elsewhere, is one that seeks to redress the injustices of education, both past and present, so that these are not carried into tomorrow’s systems of education. As Táíwò recognises, the task of justice has always been large. I can imagine this is why he framed this book around the Malê Revolt against slavery in Brazil; the Malê knew another world is possible – and as Táíwò helps us see, in 1835 they ‘continued a fight that we can help finish’ (p.213).","PeriodicalId":47509,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Studies","volume":"71 1","pages":"234 - 236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41976662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
