The following thread contains 201 open access articles, books, chapters & reports written and led by First Nations’ researchers. We write our own research across all areas. The order is random and ranges across disciplines, because of course it does.

A new era of government censorship has begun.
It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself

It's really dystopian to see how digitizing everything, which was supposed to keep records safe, is instead being used to quickly purge information. We should have known I guess, but cripes.

Have you checked out the Playwrite font in Google Docs?
Playwrite is a set of school fonts especially for young learners.
Search for "Playwrite" in the fonts list.
Aussie educators, search for "Playwrite AU", and you even get versions of the fonts with guidelines!

What a set of titles. All published within the last two years. I really want to read these at some point. Can't believe we're starting year 6 of the covid pandemic.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

In my new blog post, I explore the ongoing binary in education which pits explicit teaching or direct instruction against discovery or inquiry learning, and call for a more nuanced conversation about pedagogy.

Going into 2025 thinking about innovation and sustainability. We want teachers to innovate, but it can burn us out. Not every designer can afford to be critical (/innovate). So what do we do next?

Borrowing a book that needs to be brought out of library storage always feels researcherly. Here is 'English in Australian Secondary Schools' Edited by H.P. Sschoenheimer (1972).
