New Issue of Critical Education (v17 n3, 2026)

Critical Education
Volume 17, Number 3
2026

This issue of Critical Education includes the second instalment of our Special Section on Palestinian Liberation in Education, which focuses on solidarities and activism for a free Palestine.

The general Articles section includes studies of stupidity as a pedagogical commitment; how the debate on smartphones in schools hides deeper social issues; the ways in which doctoral students experience and navigate power within supervisory relationships; the effects of and resistance to policies promoting privatization of education; academic capitalism and accreditation in higher education; the lived experiences of racialized educators; and trauma-informed relational pedagogy.

The Book and Media Reviews section examines two books published earlier this year: Beyond Bad Apples: Teacher Education for Police-Free Schools and AI Schools and the New Child Labor.
