The IOE Library displays aim to showcase resources from a wide range of our collections, focusing on a specific theme each time. Our displays include both print and electronic material and offer suggestions for further independent research.
All the resources displayed can be borrowed and we encourage users to actively engage with the work we're doing, by providing feedback, ideas and comments.

Chapter 6 in The Routledge handbook of applied linguistics, edited by Li Wei, Zhu Hua and James Simpson. This chapter looks at key issues in the literature on the second language curriculum and materials. It pays particular attention to the concept of the inclusive curriculum (Paiz 2020) and calls to decolonise the curriculum (Macedo 2019a). In addition, it considers the challenges posed by the growing body of work in applied linguistics, which views individual named languages as constructions or inventions whose use in everyday life reveal a degree of variation and porosity at odds with the idealized representations of language and language using found in pedagogical materials.
Following Paulo Freire and his concept of pedagogy of hope, this open access book explores the educational role of hope as an approach to learning about global issues in different areas of the world. Climate change, racism, and the COVID-19 pandemic have shown more than ever the need for a global shift in education policy and practice. This book provides a conceptual framework of global education and learning and the role it can play in addressing these social and environmental challenges.

A complex and nuanced interdisciplinary exploration of children in migration crises. Children are central figures in narratives of "migration crises". They are often depicted as either essentially vulnerable and in need of special protections, or suspiciously adult-like and a threat to national borders. This book, written in English and Spanish, challenges these simplistic narratives.
COVID-19 turned the world as we knew it upside down, impacting families in profound ways. Seeking to understand this global experience, Family in the Time of COVID brings together case studies from 10 countries that explore how local responses to the pandemic shaped and were shaped by understandings and practices of family life.
Most published bodies of work relating to curriculum theory focus exclusively, or almost exclusively, on the contributions of men. This is not representative of influences on educational practices as a whole, and it is certainly not representative of educational theory generally, as women have played a significant role in framing the theory and practice of education in the past. This book addresses this egregious deficit by examining the work of 12 women curriculum theorists: Maxine Greene, Susan Haack, Julia Kristeva, Martha Nussbaum, Nel Noddings, Jane Roland Martin, Marie Battiste, Dorothea Beale, Susan Isaacs, Maria Montessori, Mary Warnock and Lucy Diggs Slowe.
