Abstract/Notes: Montessori's Feminist Activism and Child Advocacy As I have argued elsewhere, unearthing and identifying Montessori's feminist histories as a justice-driven project can act as a springboard for ongoing practices of justice and care in contemporary times (Mohandas, 2023). Besides addressing the dominant themes of the suffrage movement, such as women's right to vote and own property, she also addressed the issue of female teachers' low status and pay and their adverse working conditions-problems that persist today. Locating Montessori in Its Colonial Capitalist Context n addition to recognizing Montessori's advocacy and social justice efforts, we need simultaneously to situate Montessori in the colonial capitalist contexts from which it arose. [...]the point I wish to reiterate is that we must situate the Montessori approach in its wider political, social, economic, and historical context to effectively do justice-related work in contemporary times. Intersectionality as Means for Deep Coalition Whiteness as a system and mechanism of power values and privileges particular features and qualities that are inextricably enmeshed in certain economic drives.

Abstract/Notes: This action research project investigated how anti-critical race theory (CRT) legislation in public education has impacted the perceived self-efficacy and emotions of one Montessori educator. This 4- week self-study consisted of daily assigned reading, weekly media, and a weekly conversation to aid in multicultural critical reflective practice (MCRP). Data was measured using a pre-and post- self assessment on Qualtrics, a daily mood app, and daily critical journal reflections. The pre-and post assessment demonstrated an increase in self-efficacy to speak with confidence about the origins of CRT in education research. Daily critical journal reflections displayed an increase in the ability to critically reflect on the educator’s own positionality, suggesting that daily critical engagement with material aimed at increasing awareness of racial inequities in education builds confidence and empathy in educators. Further research should include small groups of teachers utilizing this intervention for professional development, longer or shorter daily intervention, a biometric measurement in place of the daily mood measurement, and follow-up assessments over a longer study period to determine the lasting effects of the intervention. This research has impacted my future in education both personally and professionally, with confidence in my critical thinking skills and greater awareness of how my positionality interacts with structural inequities within education as my greatest perceived benefits.

A Critical Social Psychological Contribution to (Global) Citizenship Education: Seeing Oneself Through the Eyes of the 'Other'

Abstract/Notes: Taylor (2004) argues that the Western moral order is characterised by three key forms — the market economy, public sphere, and self-governance. These forms entail contradictory tendencies for the concept of selfhood and our relations with each other. We do endorse an autonomous and free self, who should pursue her goals, but is also expected to act ethically towards others through mutuality, equality, and collectivity. However, we are concerned with being authentic, i.e. being true to ‘ourselves’, as well as with recognising the needs and differences of the ‘other’. This moral order is based on notions of political equality, democracy, freedom, human rights, and privatised economic prosperity. Moving ‘with Holzkamp beyond Holzkamp’ (Teo, 2016), in this paper, we present a method to foster the skill to step out from one’s moral matrix, the invisible normalised moral order, and view oneself through the eyes of the ‘other’. Focusing on food practices, we developed a method for social self-clarification (Holzkamp, 1995). The skill to see oneself through the eyes of the ‘other’ is necessary in realising one’s entanglement in a global institutional order that foreseeably and avoidably produces severe inequalities.
