Mentoring young people involved in the justice system: Unpacking the ‘black box’ of rapport and relationship-building
Mentoring young people involved in the justice system: unpacking the ‘black box’ of rapport and relationship-building
Mentoring for care-experienced young people: A rapid review of program design
In Australia, out-of-home care (OoHC) is provided to safeguard children and young people unable to live with their families. Typically, this care stops at 18 years of age, leaving many young people without the relational support to find employment and stable accommodation. Mentoring is increasingly proposed as a way to support young people exiting care, though the types of mentoring and contextual factors vary considerably. This rapid review aims…
Teachers of TikTok: Glimpses and gestures in the performance of professional identity
During a tumultuous period marked by a global pandemic, forced lockdowns, and educational institutions going 'digital by default', TikTok has emerged as a key platform for teachers to connect and share their experiences. These digital practices have been widely celebrated for providing teachers with an outlet during a challenging time, though little is known about the particulars of TikTok's appeal among teachers and their followers. This article…
Health education, social media, and tensions of authenticity in the ‘ influencer pedagogy’ of health influencer Ashy Bines
Health and wellness influencers are often criticised as dubious and unqualified sources of health education, presenting highly curated, commercialised lifestyles via social media platforms such as Instagram. While these critiques are important, they also present a narrow reading of complex digital cultures. In this paper, we examine a digital ethnographic case study of Australian entrepreneur and health influencer, Ashy Bines. We argue that Bines…
Living in a crowd: Young people’s counter-narratives of care in a Thai orphanage
Young people in orphanages are exposed to compounding structural inequalities tied to local, national, and global processes. Popular criticisms of orphanages highlight the potential harm of institutionalised living, including abuse and exploitation associated with the global rise of voluntourism and the intensified disadvantages young people face when transitioning out of institutionalised care. Yet, these concerns often lack cultural specificity…

Global citizenship incorporated: Competing Responsibilities in the Education of Global Citizens
Interest in the education of young people to be ‘responsible global citizens’ has grown exponentially since the turn of the century, led by increasingly diverse networks of sectors, including government, community, business and philanthropy. These networks now have a significant influence on education policy and practice, indicative of wider changes in governance and processes of globalisation. Yet little of the academic literature on global citi…
Responsibility and responsibilisation in education
Debates about responsibility and responsibilisation pervade contemporary social, political\nand moral life. For this reason, how they are configured, operate, inter-relate and their\neffects have been the subject of theoretical work across multiple disciplines and sub-disciplines,\nincluding but not limited to sociology, economics, business and accounting,\nethics, health and psychoanalysis. Here, scholars have sought to document and account\nfor…
Beyond the academic precariat: A collective biography of poetic subjectivities in the neoliberal university
The ‘neoliberal turn’ in the higher education sector has received significant intellectual scrutiny in recent times. This scrutiny, led by many established academics working within the sector, has highlighted the negative repercussions for teaching and research staff, often referred to as the ‘academic precariat’ due to their tenuous employment prospects within an increasingly market-driven system. This critique of the modern university can also …
Australian mothers’ notions of risk and uncertainty in relation to their pre-teen children
In this article we examine the ways discourses of risk manifested and played out within and across two groups of Australian mothers living in two large urban centres in Australia: the first comprised of mothers who had a pre-teen child diagnosed with an eating disorder (n=13); the second of mothers who had a pre-teen child without the symptoms or diagnosis of an eating disorder (n=13). In 2011 and 2012, we conducted in-depth interviews with the m…
The possibilities of happiness: Australian mothers’ aspirations for their children in neoliberal times
Within the context of neoliberal times, mothers are said to be increasingly monitoring their children’s lives. Yet, the extent to which neoliberalism can explain mothers’ aspirations for their children remains unclear. This article explores how 26 Australian mothers, half of whom had a child with an eating disorder, spoke about happiness in regards to their aspirations for their children. We argue that the mothers resist materialistic aspirations…
