title: Advancements in work-integrated learning research: Editorial insights

authors: Zegwaard, Karsten E.

subjects: Developments

abstract: Over the past two decades, scholarship into work-integrated learning (WIL) has significantly expanded,
highlighting the importance of its contribution to higher education. The International Journal of Work-Integrated
Learning (IJWIL) has been an important part of the promotion of research and scholarship of WIL, and the
dissemination of new knowledge. This current IJWIL Issue includes three articles that provide a bibliometric
analysis of what is now a significant body of WIL literature. These analyses reveal trends in themes such as equity
and access, professional identity development, stakeholder engagement, risks, and highlight the high level of collaboration among WIL researchers. This editorial emphasizes the advances of WIL scholarship by further identifying key developments and topical challenges and linking these to recent published WIL literature to inspire further research to enhance the understanding of WIL as a transformative pedagogy.

title: Learning later in life

authors: Findsen, Brian

subjects: critical gerontology

abstract: The phrase "learning in later life" has assumed major significance for educators and allied professionals in their efforts to understand the dynamics of learning for older people across the globe. In earlier times, the phrase "educational gerontology" was used to describe a similar set of ideas but is now deemed too restrictive for the vast range of learning in which seniors participate, whether organized for them or with them, or self-initiated. The purpose of this article is to provide a solid platform for conceptualizing the complex array of learning opportunities open to older adults in diverse cultural contexts.

title: Donna Awatere’s Māori Sovereignty: Reflections on White Supremacy and the Racialization of Crime Control and Surveillance in Aotearoa New Zealand

authors: Dawson, Brian

abstract: Donna Awatere’s examination of whiteness within the Aotearoa New Zealand context, specifically white cultural imperialism, has largely been ignored in academic scholarship. For her, white culture, and its articulation through governance and policy, is the starting point and lens to understanding and addressing historical and contemporary Māori dispossession and ensuing strategies of racialized surveillance, control, and containment. In this essay, we argue that Awatere’s attention to past forms of genocide – mapping them to emerging forms of state confinement of Māori, which engender genocidal characteristics, and problematizing “whiteness” – situates the book Māori Sovereignty as an important text in the field of criminal justice, especially that which manifests in settler-colonial contexts.
