Autorenporträt

Stewart Riddle is an Associate Professor in the School of Education at the University of Southern Queensland. His research examines the democratisation of schooling systems, increasing access and equity in education, and how schooling can respond to critical social issues in complex contemporary times. Amanda Heffernan is a Senior Lecturer in Leadership in the Faculty of Education at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Amanda's work takes a critical perspective toward school leadership, education policy, and the everyday experiences of educational leaders' work. She has a particular interest in the work of principals in complex school settings, including those in rural and remote areas. Her research focuses on the contemporary challenges of principals' work, and what that means for how we can better attract, support, and keep school leaders within the profession. David Bright is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. His research investigates how educational practices are mediated by perceptions of social, cultural and linguistic difference, and explores how difference can be re-imagined to create new possibilities for democratic education. David has a particular interest in the cultural politics of English language teaching, international schooling, and international student programs.
