Rural & Regional Education

Rural education scholars study education beyond metropolitan locations. Contemporary research in rural education takes up complex, vital and exciting questions of identity and culture; problems associated with geographies of educational/social advantage and disadvantage; the complexities of power; real and imagined space; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and sovereignty; as well as a range of other issues.

Sustainable Education

The ‘Sustainability, Place and Society’ research group are an active community of scholars interested in issues of space and place, sustainability, equity and social justice, and culture as they relate to education. Employing a critical ‘sociological imagination’ we recognise the political and value-laden nature of education and seek to explore, examine, and disrupt power relations through our educational research.
