Acknowledgements

My first thanks goes to my wife Katja Klikauer for proofreading this book comprehensively and most thoroughly. I am most obliged to Shirley Steinberg for her assistance on my early thoughts about critical pedagogy. This book has received no administrative, technical, editorial support or funding from the University of Western Sydney (UWS) or any other private or public source.

My last thanks remains as always reserved to Palgrave Macmillan’s Liz Barlow and Maddie Holder (commissioning) a
