Back Cover

"This book is a call to arms and a plea for activism. It argues that human experience intersects with place. It endeavours to offer theoretical and practical responses to increasing complexity in the world and suggests ways in which education systems might respond. In doing so, it touches on contemporary, controversial, and often neglected issues such as mental illness, immigration, privilege, andragogy, and community." --Robin Precey , Senior Lecturer of Education, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK "Fischer and Mazurkiewicz utilize their more than two decades of personal and professional collaboration to share not only the impact of their collaborative and collective work, but more importantly the inquiry-based opportunities it created for themselves and their participants and colleagues. The narratives in this collection evidence the complexities and nuances of the personal, place, and context." --Sharon Subreenduth , Associate Dean and Professor of Education, University of Massachusetts, Lowell, USA This edited volume includes contributions on education within a world of challenges by authors with diverse experiences and perspectives.
