New blog from Maria Balarin and me on the need for a greater focus on justice in education...
What does justice in education look like in times of global crisis?
This week on the @NORRAG blog, María Balarin & Lizzi O. Milligan reflect on the JustEd project and call for a deeper shift—towards education as justice, rooted in rich pedagogy and epistemic equity.

I support Palestine Action.
I hate all forms of violence.
I wish no harm on anyone.
I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world.
Apparently this makes me a terrorist.
But I am the opposite of a terrorist.

As always, @rachelshabi.bsky.social is so good.
This pointing the finger of antisemitism at every criticism of Israel is so damaging because there are people who should be allies who now will not hear it when we call out REAL antisemitism- to them it’s all a smear.
& meanwhile Gazans are murdered.

Rachel Shabi having to explain that 'death to the IDF' is not antisemitic is a sign of how far the smears have gone. And Rachel is right, there are dangerous consequences to that.

Is the 'transformative' in 'gender transformative education' the same as the 'transformative' in 'transformative climate/environmental education'?

Every time the world attention is turned towards Trump's antics, or any other distraction, Israel uses the opportunity to ratchet up the genocide of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of West Bank.
PS I know "ethnic cleansing" started out as a euphemism, but is now understood as full crime against humanity.

An admirable and principled decision from someone who has long been a credit to the Labour Party. Defence spending must go up, but this is the wrong way to do it, and Anneliese is absolutely right to say so.
EXCL: Anneliese Dodds, the international development minister, has quit her post over Keir Starmer’s decision to slash the international aid budget by almost half to pay for a generational increase in defence spending.
