    The UN SDGs and educational research: Universities and peace, social justice and higher education

    In 2015, United Nations Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is framed around 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN describes these goals as “an urgent call for action by all countries,” emphasizing the importance of global partnerships. Each of the 17 SDGs has implications for higher education. This podcast focuses upon the civic and political engagement of young people interacting with the SDGs, specifically SDG 16 and its intersections with other global challenges. The recording explores the experiences of three university students at different stages of their learning cycles during the visit to the United Nations Headquarters New York to sit in on a High Level Political Forum for SDG 16 to hear senior ambassadors discuss the need for greater progress in peace and social justice. In the context of growing apathy amongst young people towards mainstream politics and low levels of political knowledge that often impede a person’s ability to engage in democratic decision-making, this podcast sought to capture the feelings of the students towards these issues during their time in the corridors of power at the United Nations, New York. The podcast is led by Dr Mark Charlton of De Montfort University. For more information, please check these resources. Barrett, M.D., Pachi, D., 2019.

    Innovative Research Methodologies: Corpus assisted discourse analysis

    This podcast is the sixth and final instalment in the series commissioned by the Research Methodology in Education Special Interest Group to showcase the variety of methodologies and methods being undertaken by researchers in education. In this episode, Dr Bukola Oyinloye, co-convenor of the RME SIG, is in conversation with Dr Kathryn Spicksley. They discuss corpus assisted discourse analysis, an approach which uses computer programmes to explore patterns of grammar and vocabulary in selected text or corpora. They discuss its main element, discourse analysis, including its more critical type, and compare with other ways of interrogating text such as thematic analysis. Dr Spicksley recommends Hansun Zhang Waring’s book ‘Discourse Analysis: The Questions Discourse Analysts Ask and How They Answer Them’ as a helpful introduction to discourse analysis, as well as Norman Fairclough (Discourse and social change) and James Paul Gee (An introduction to discourse analysis) for useful frameworks on discourse analysis. In her article, ‘The very best generation of teachers ever’: teachers in post-2010 ministerial speeches, Dr Spicksley applies corpus assisted discourse analysis to government speeches in the UK.
