The ideas and papers in this volume primarily showcase the work of
a group of new scholars who will lead the next generation of
educational practise and inquiry. While the topics explored are
critical issues, the ways in which these new scholars have chosen
to address them illustrates the diversity of voice, venue and value
that has led them to present their work. Education and what it
means has entered a new era in which the primary focus on education
for the sake of education is strained. An educational free-for-all,
in the sense of a no-holds-barred fight, seems in place as
competition for market share, effective branding exercises and
movement towards a client-based delivery of educational services
(on demand as demanded) has been fuelled and compounded by
litigation, accreditation, transfer credits and matters of patents,
copyrights, ownership and monopoly. The link between education and
financial well-being has been co-opted as the key to personal
success. Unfortunately, the degree pursuit, often called the "paper
chase" has become competitive for learners seeking scholarships,
awards and entry into graduate school. This transition indicates
movement from becoming well educated to employability potential
paralleling much institutional retooling and sustenance of enhanced
reputation and fiscal viability.
