If You Tolerate Mis(ogyny) Then Fascisms Will Be Next (w/Dr. Sidebottom):
'IYTM' explores how misogyny in neoliberal UK education fosters microfascisms through classroom practices and disciplinary structures. We argue that misogynistic ideals are amplified by 'manfluencers' and the manosphere, which (coupled with neoliberal schooling) normalise microfascist tendencies (through misogyny), warning of its pipeline to macrofascism. The paper proposes affirmative ethics as a way to challenge these dynamics and create more inclusive learning environments.

No Jacket Required (w/Dr. Sidebottom):
With No Jacket Required we examine school uniforms in contemporary English education. We explore uniform's roles in neoliberal policy, power, and social justice. Using a posthumanist and materialist lens, we interrogate how uniform policies regulate bodies, reinforce hierarchies, and enact hidden curricula. From a brief analysis of uniform policies within the West Midlands, the paper critically examines uniform as both a site of control and resistance, revealing its entanglement with policy, market forces, and student identity formation.
