- Description: This chapter sets out to articulate and provide a theoretical justification for the view that education has a double purpose: the formation of individual persons and the formation of societies. The argument proceeds in four parts. First, it outlines the dialectic of the individual and the collective articulated in Marx’s third thesis on Feuerbach. Second, using the theory of practice architectures, it describes the three-dimensional intersubjective space in which this dialectic is realised: the space in which people encounter one another as interlocutors, as embodied beings, and as social and political beings. Third, it shows that the dialectic of the individual-collective, as it unfolds through time, is more than an abstract matter, which Hegel pursued in the form of a history of ideas; against Hegel, the Young Hegelians, including Feuerbach and Marx, argued that the dialectic of the individual-collective is a concrete and practical matter, realised in human history and practice. The final section draws these three strands together in a contemporary theory of education underpinned by the theory of practice architectures. © The Author(s) 2023.

- Description: This chapter begins a conversation about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the concepts of rights, diversity, equity and inclusion that underpin them, and the ways in which they are enacted in a variety of contexts. There is a specific focus on SDG4 “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. Based on examinations of the SDGs, the conversations throughout the book give voice to those who work at times within and sometimes outside mainstream education discourse people who use inclusive approaches to teach early childhood, primary and secondary school and higher education students, parent-educators, parents and carers, academics teaching and researching in the field of inclusion and teachers and academics who themselves have impairments and disabilities. In this chapter, we investigate the policies, discourses and epistemologies that are foundational for the concepts of rights, diversity, equity and inclusion. To examine issues of social justice, epistemic injustice, equity and equality, the authors describe a framework of discourse and intersectional analysis.

- Description: Despite the benefits community sport can bring to older adults (aged 55+), such as social support, mental, and physical health and fun, national sporting policies tend to focus on young age groups in terms of participation and elite performance, so community sports are often required to align their strategic focus with these policies. Therefore, there are scant (yet emerging) sporting policies, formal sport coaching, and coach education opportunities specific to older adults in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, England, and Canada. This reality poses problems for coaching older adults in community sports. However, there is recent research, particularly in Canada, that reveals the everyday realities of coaching older adults, such as the importance of meeting athlete needs for competition, health and/or fun, developing personal relationships, accounting for age-related changes, and applying adult learning principles to the coaching context. In this chapter, we discuss these factors and offer some strategies to assist those embarking on community sport coaching work with older adults. © 2022 Taylor & Francis.

- Description: This paper documents the case of a young girl who went missing from a country track in 1972. It considers the function of roads in her disappearance, and the importance and terror of roads generally in Australia. For roads have a role in Australia that is vastly different to smaller, more populous nations. Roads in Australia are absolutely crucial to the maintenance and sustenance of society. So too are the cars and other vehicles we use upon them, but they are just as paradoxical in their effects. As Elizabeth Jacka and Susan Dermody (1988, p. 113) put it so plainly: ‘our cars kill us, and without them we would die’. The case of the girl who vanished from a road is not an unusual event in Australia. However, it has led to a conjunction of long-lasting effects, particularly on the community of Mackay, that are. The case has never been solved, not due to a desire to solve it, but ironically because of the very methods initially employed to do so. © 2021 by Emerald Publishing Limited.

- Description: Sovereign Wealth Funds rarely have the opportunity to be examined from their beginning concurrently with the installation of sovereignty for the country itself. This is the unique case of Timor-Leste (formerly known as East Timor), built up from information provided by all stakeholders in the establishment and ongoing operation of the country’s Petroleum Fund. With oil and gas fields in the Timor Sea plentiful and already extracted previously by Indonesia, the United Nations administration ensured the Norwegian model should be the basis for setting up the Fund. Thus, Timor-Leste began well by establishing a globally acknowledged well-designed Fund soon after gaining sovereignty. This chapter examines the Fund from the amity of its inception to the realities of a post-conflict society. These realities soon became apparent after civil disturbances resulted in Fund resources being used to “buy the peace.” Then emerged economic and social pressures of large infrastructure development where major projects were raising concerns as to whether the Fund is being used to construct white elephants. Together these two acute influences have the potential for the Resource Curse to emerge on the horizon if the big spending “peace and development” strategy fails. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

- Description: This chapter presents and discusses sport participation trends among female children and adolescents, and investigates the key drivers for female participation in sport across the Individual, Social, Organisational and Environmental domains of the socio-ecological model. Sport participation rates differ according to many factors, including gender, age and residential location of participants, and the types of sport programmes, and other activities. However, consistently females participate in sport at lower rates and are more likely to drop-out of sport than males. Recently opportunities for females to play a sport of their choice have increasingly become available. Sport policies and investment, specifically targeting growth of female participation in sport, have increasingly been observed. However, there are still barriers which limit female participation in sport. At the population level, strategic policy and significant investment will be required to increase capacity of facilities and club volunteers, as well as continued cultural change regarding gender equity. © 2020 selection and editorial matter, Emma Sherry and Katie Rowe.

- Description: While there exists notable research in Australia and internationally on the ways pre-service and early career teachers develop and maintain resilience, there is a paucity of literature examining the resilience of teacher educators. The teacher education landscape has a dynamic nature, and in the Australian context, there have been multiple changes to policy and accreditation that have impacted on the work of teacher educators, including: the introduction of literacy and numeracy testing and a teaching performance assessment for teacher education students; and strict regulatory controls for providers. This context, combined with the intensification of academic work in higher education settings, has led us to investigate the personal and contextual factors that enable or constrain teacher educators’ resilience. In this chapter, we draw on a social ecological model of resilience to explore the factors that sustain and challenge teacher educators in their work, and use the findings to highlight implications for the field of teacher education.

- Description: Preparing pre-teachers for an increasingly challenging teaching profession is a complex work and requires teacher educators to engage in the careful design of both programmes and professional learning opportunities. This chapter explores how an explicit focus on thinking dispositions that enable effective teaching are developed in a Master of Teaching (Secondary) programme. This programme, delivered on-site at a secondary school, included carefully constructed teaching opportunities to support development of thinking dispositions. Ways of thinking and the impact they have on feelings, actions and beliefs will be examined along with how the implementation of our thinking dispositions framework supports the development of resilience in challenging teaching and learning contexts.

- Description: Joanne Evans, Frank Golding, Cate O’Neill, and Rachel Tropea recount Australian Care Leavers’ struggle for archival justice in the form of access, and the role of archival and recordkeeping professionals in both furthering and frustrating that struggle. While asserting a professional obligation to participate in a movement towards equity in records and recordkeeping, they observe the profession’s lacklustre collective response and rightfully question the extent to which archival and recordkeeping regimes embedded in existing power structures can meet the needs of the Care Leaver community. This theme appears throughout chapters concerning public records, particularly those produced in the course of systematic dispossession. Using Barbara Klugman’s framework to evaluate social justice advocacy, the authors assess the potential of the Australian Government’s Find and Connect program to further social justice. © 2020 selection and editorial matter David A.

- Description: Researchers conducting studies in communities have long taken an interest in exploring the different merits of positioning themselves as “insiders”, “outsiders”, or “in-betweeners” in relation to their participants. Yet research exploring the role of the researcher as a “critical friend”—a supportive yet challenging facilitator in self-evaluation processes—has not been fully examined. This chapter speaks to the FUGuE element of transformation—which in the present context, I define as a process where structures and forms undergo conversion. The chapter provides my account as a FUGuE researcher of exploring the methodological implications of my research with a small group of teachers at a primary school located in the Latrobe Valley in Central Gippsland. The emergent relationship now informs my teaching and research practices. The discussion draws on a recently commenced longitudinal study exploring teachers’ use of strategies and processes aimed at improving literacy practices—a phenomenon known as capacity building—through collaboration in a professional learning team, within a context of school improvement. Due to a prior connection with the school, I was invited to become a critical friend and active participant as the school initiated a new Professional Learning Team (PLT) in literacy. Informed by recorded conversations from the PLT meetings, my aim was to conceptualize the role and transformative implications of researching as an invited critical friend within a professional community. This chapter contributes to the methodological discourse of educational research by offering a contextualized analysis of the tensions among the notions of trust, credibility, and positionality as a critical friend researcher.
