Using a content analysis methodology, we examined 15 peer-reviewed articles published between 2009 and 2019 that used qualitative and mixed methods approaches to explore how college and university students experience food insecurity. Concerningly, there was limited variety in the methods employed across these articles and more discussion of methodology was needed. Despite this, our analysis of student statements in these articles yielded three common themes: (1) co-occurring basic needs; (2) academic, physical, psychological, and social effects of food insecurity; and (3) institutional satisfaction and/or critique. We include implications for research and practice.

Previous studies have elucidated the positive effect of the quantity and onset age of shared book reading on children's language development. Few studies have addressed the profiles of parental involvement in terms of different key aspects of shared book reading. This study adopted a latent profile analysis to examine the patterns of parental involvement in shared book reading and associated factors; 980 Chinese parents of kindergarten children were investigated. Three profiles were identified: (1) late start and infrequent reading; (2) early start and frequent reading; (3) medium start and intensive reading. Higher socioeconomic status, more literacy resources, and older age of the children were all found to be more likely to be associated with identification with Profile 2 than Profile 1. Implications for more targeted parental intervention programmes to broaden access to home literacy resources are highlighted.

Schools continue to produce regimes of gender and sexuality, including overt and covert curricula based on assumed essentialist differences between girls and boys, reinforced and regulated through uniform, sport and peer pressure. The recent focus on the experiences of trans and non-binary children in schools makes visible the ways in which all children are subject to heteronormatively gendered regulatory and disciplinary techniques in everyday school life. This article discusses the findings from a pilot study drawing on participatory action research techniques with 42 young people in six workshops in north-east England. Recruitment methods were required to be flexible given the context within which the study was conducted, which was with Covid-19 mitigations in place. This meant that we were not able to be fully inclusive of young people from local youth groups as they were either not meeting or only meeting online. We thus had to mainly recruit from university student societies and student residences from which we organised three workshops; sports organisations from which we organised one workshop, and a local youth group with which we ran one workshop. The final workshop was conducted with young people who had attended one of the previous five workshops, to enable feedback on our analysis. All participants were over 16 years of age. The majority of participants were women (25) with 16 men, including one transman, and one non-binary person. Most identified as white (31) with the rest identifying as Black, East Asian and British ‘Other’ (11). The focus of the workshops was to explore with young people their memories about where and how they first encountered being ‘gendered’ and/or having a sexuality. The data has been collected, recorded and transcribed within strict ethical guidelines. The workshop data has been analysed using a grounded theory approach, where we developed the theoretical models from the data. This article focuses on those key moments when their behaviours, presentation and/or ideas were subject to facilitators and/or regulators of their gender and/or sexuality. We draw out the contradictions inherent in, on the one hand, the essentialist rationales for difference and inequalities between genders and sexualities in schools and, on the other hand, the apparent need to enforce these ‘natural’ differences and inequalities. Participatory creative approaches were adopted in each workshop to promote conversations and drawings about who regulated/facilitated their gender and/or sexuality and how they did so. Each workshop cumulatively informed the next, leading to a sixth synthesising workshop that collectively analysed young people's reflections. Drawing on the conceptual frameworks of epistemic injustice (M. Fricker, Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing, Oxford University Press, 2007) and ‘space for action’ we conclude that young people want and need brave active spaces to discuss and ‘do’ gender and sexuali
学校继续制造性别和性制度,包括基于假定的男女生本质区别的公开和隐蔽课程,并通过校服、运动和同伴压力加以强化和规范。最近对学校中变性和非二元儿童经历的关注,使人们看到了所有儿童在日常学校生活中受到异性恋性别化监管和惩戒技术影响的方式。本文讨论了一项试点研究的结果,该研究利用参与式行动研究技术,在英格兰东北部的六个工作坊中对 42 名年轻人进行了研究。考虑到研究开展的背景,即 Covid-19 减缓措施到位,招募方法必须灵活。这就意味着我们无法完全接纳当地青年团体中的年轻人,因为他们要么不聚会,要么只在网上聚会。因此,我们不得不主要从大学学生社团和学生宿舍招募人员,并组织了三次研讨会;从体育组织招募人员,并组织了一次研讨会;从当地青年团体招募人员,并组织了一次研讨会。最后一次工作坊的参与者是参加过前五次工作坊之一的青少年,以便他们对我们的分析提出反馈意见。所有参与者的年龄都在 16 岁以上。大多数参与者为女性(25 人),男性 16 人,其中包括一名变性人和一名非二元人。大多数人认为自己是白人(31 人),其余的人认为自己是黑人、东亚人和英国 "其他 "人(11 人)。工作坊的重点是与年轻人一起探讨他们的记忆,即他们在哪里以及如何第一次接触到 "性别 "和/或性行为。数据的收集、记录和转录都严格遵守道德准则。我们采用基础理论方法对工作坊数据进行了分析,并根据数据建立了理论模型。本文的重点是,当她们的行为、陈述和/或想法受到她们的性别和/或性倾向的促进者和/或监管者的影响时的关键时刻。我们一方面指出了学校中性别和性取向之间差异和不平等的本质主义依据,另一方面也指出了实施这些 "自然 "差异和不平等的明显必要性,这两者之间存在着内在矛盾。每场研讨会都采用了参与性的创新方法,以促进关于由谁管理/促进其性别和/或性的对话和绘画,以及他们是如何做到这一点的。每一次工作坊都为下一次工作坊提供了信息,最终形成了第六次综合工作坊,对年轻人的反思进行了集体分析。借鉴认识论不公正的概念框架(M. Fricker, Epistemic Injustice:Power and the Ethics of Knowing, Oxford University Press, 2007)和 "行动空间 "的概念框架,我们得出结论:年轻人希望并需要勇敢、积极的空间来讨论和 "做 "性别和性问题,抵制本质主义和社会控制。学校既可以是制造和巩固控制的地方,也可以是抵制控制的地方。我们的研究表明,可以由年轻人并为年轻人创造更好的全校对策,以瓦解性别和性制度。

Previous research suggests that primary–secondary school transitions can be problematic, with some children experiencing a negative impact on academic outcomes and a decline in wellbeing. The negative impact of primary–secondary transition experiences can be long term and lead to young people not completing high school with implications for their subsequent education and employment. However, there are several gaps in existing studies as a result of weak research designs, small samples and the timing of data collection. To better understand children's primary–secondary school transition experiences and the factors which may impact on them, we undertook secondary analysis of data from the Growing Up in Scotland (GUS) study. The analysis focused on data collected when children were in the penultimate year of primary school (Primary 6/P6) and then when they were in the first year of secondary school (Secondary 1/S1). This led to a final sample size of 2559 children and their parents. Results contradict many previous studies which tend to find primary–secondary transitions as overwhelmingly negative. In contrast, we found that 36% of children experienced a positive transition and 42% a moderately positive transition, with only 22% children experiencing a negative transition. This is the first large-scale, longitudinal and contemporaneous study able to provide a clear proportion of children with positive, moderate and negative transition experiences. Several factors seemed to play a part in children's transition experiences, namely gender, religion, household composition, socioeconomic status, child expectations, schoolwork, and relationships. Implications and recommendations for research, policy and practice have been outlined.
