Acknowledgements
This book is derived from a Ph.D. thesis completed at De Montfort University in December 2016. I wish to thank Professor Maria Tamboukou for her invaluable and continued encouragement and guidance throughout my doctoral study, and for the faith, she had in me to persevere, without which I would not have been able to produce this work. I would also like to thank Professor ‘Brown’ and Dr. Jackie Robinson, for their later support, advice, and enthusiasm for my work; and to my close friend and confidant, Dr. Dave Morris, who kept me sane throughout. Kaushika Patel and Dr. Steven Lyttle also deserve recognition for allowing me space and time when I needed it—thank you both. I would also like to thank Becky Wyde at Palgrave for her advice and help along the way in supporting me with the final publication of this book. Thanks also to all the many teachers, colleagues, and other practitioners, including the Traveller Education Support Services, that gave their time to talk to me about their experiences, as well as to the members of the Gypsy/Traveller communities I spoke with, particularly the young women. Without their candid discussions, I would have nothing to write about. Further tha
