ABSTRACT
This book is a collection of papers written by Australian ethnographers who are exploring issues of education and inequality in Australian society, and ways in which inequality can best be investigated and combatted. In individual chapters, authors reflect upon major studies or ongoing projects with which they are engaged. Chapters are not summaries of the larger studies or projects, but they do indicate their nature and flavour, and convey a sense of their thickness and richness. Each chapter has its own unity and argument, although major substantive, theoretical or empirical issues that have arisen from the large projects, or in the authors’ reflection upon them, are addressed. In short, authors have generally reflected upon their theoretically-informed, methodologically interesting and substantial ethnographic projects in ways which throw light upon particular aspects of education and inequality.
