This book broadens the scope of the subject of rural education and
enlivens the ways in which the subject may be studied. Through
textual and visual analysis of a range of sources - including young
adult novels, the farming simulation game 'Hay Day' and reality
television programs - the contributors investigate how the lives of
young people in rural spaces are mediated by a range of social
locations including class, ethnicity and sexuality. Additionally,
through rich and detailed ethnographic work, the book explores the
complicated and multifaceted meanings of rural places and examines
how these meanings shape experiences of schooling for teachers and
students. In doing so, the book embeds the study of rural education
in explorations of patrilineal inheritance on family farms,
international migration, globalisation and economic restructuring.
It aims to start a conversation about the robust and complex ways
in which the confluence between 'rural' and 'education' may be
imagined, experienced and researched. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural
Politics of Education.
