This book explores the complexities of investigating minorities,
majorities, boundaries and borders, and the experiences of
researchers who choose to work in these spaces. It engages with
issues of ethics, disclosure and representation, and contends with
and seeks to contribute to emerging debates around power and the
positioning of researchers and participants. Chapters examine
epistemologies that shape researchers' beliefs about the forms of
research that are valued in educational research and theory, and
consider the importance of research that genuinely seeks to explore
voice, culture, story, authenticity and identity. Resisting the
backdrop of standardisation, performativity and accountability
agendas pervading governments and organisations, the book attends
to the stories of real people, to understand regional and rural
landscapes, to examine culture and the human condition and to give
voice to those at the fringes of society who remain largely
neglected and unheard. Drawing largely on studies from Australia,
the book provides an overview of the many types of research being
engaged in, revealing the value of different kinds of research, and
gaining insight into how meaning and findings are disseminated in
research and educational sectors and back into the contexts where
research takes place. Mainstreams, Margins and the Spaces
In-between will be of key interest to early career researchers and
academics internationally, as well as postgraduate students
completing research methods courses in the field of education, and
the wider social sciences.
