Press Release Body = About

Contemporary educational researchers encounter all kinds of ethical and political
dilemmas and tensions in conducting research in postmodern contents. In doing so,
they must engage with research as \'risky business\', and they must enact strategies
that will maximize benefits and minimize harm arising from their projects.



The chapters in this book elaborate the author\' respective and multiple efforts to
embrace these challenges. Each chapter takes up in different ways the idea of Ian
Stronach and Maggie MacLure (1997) that research is full of \'strategic
uncertainties\' that create opportunities to question, disrupt and transform existing
experiences of marginalization. One chapter is about Japanese and Norwegian whaling,
one about research with English Gypsies and one about Venezuelan fairground people;
other chapters depict research about Australian education. All the chapters
demonstrate the international relevance of their research.
