Acknowledgements

This book could not have been written without the generous participation of the children, young people, parents, caregivers, families and teachers whose lives are represented here, as well as the school communities into which I was welcomed— all of whom kindly devoted time and energy to this project. I am immensely grateful for all such contributions, as I am for the subsequent friendships I made and sustained throughout my research and into the present day. I am indebted in different ways to many people in the imagining, researching and writing of this book, in particular the unparalleled supervision and mentorship I received from Melinda Hinkson and Lyndall Strazdins as a Ph.D. student. I am further grateful for support received from Allison Pugh, Martin Forsey, Megan Watkins, Greg Noble, An
