Reviews & Statements

Citing the Flinders Educational Futures Research Institute (FEFRI) as a supportive structure within which researchers and practitioners can collaborate on projects of mutual professional interest, Askell-Williams presents a collaborative endeavor that represents the broad scope of FEFRI members’ and associates’ research interests. Six themes link the chapters and other contemporary published works: what education is for, the relational nature of education, strengths and empowerment, making the implicit explicit, diversity and pluralism, and the importance of context. Seventeen chapters are divided into five sections: learning; diversity; communities of practice; student mental health and well being; reflecting.
