Clusters’ and ‘place-based approaches’: On the problem of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in senior secondary schooling
The responsibilisation of learners in the Australian Foundation Skills apparatus: Making Up Motivated, Choice-Making Customers
This paper contributes to debates that shaped a special issue of Discourse in 2017 by taking the debate about responsibilisation in education into the realm of Foundations Skills in Australia.

It has been claimed that almost half of Australia’s working age population have Foundation Sk…
Killing (Constructed) Horses – Interspecies Elders, Empathy and Emotion, and the Pazyryk Horse Sacrifices

All living creatures exist with others in relationships – networks of ecological, biological, psychological and social interactions – that are ongoing and meaningful, and at some level affect their animate neighbours.

Prior interpretations of the tattoos of nonhuman animals etched upon the preserved human bodies from the Pazyryk archaeological culture of Inner Asia have focused on solely human-generated meanings.

As enlightened by people who live with horses…
Do the clothes make the horse? Relationality, roles and statuses in Iron Age Inner Asia
Despite recent calls to view nonhuman animals as more than objects within archaeological studies, traditional interpretations of horses in Iron Age Inner Asian communities continue to consider them as relevant only through their functional or symbolic significance to humans. This article argues for a ‘relational’ rather than ‘domination’ model of human-horse interactions, and that a necessary step toward this is a clearer understanding of horses,…
