Field-building initiative
Centred on the forthcoming Springer edited volume Beyond the Core Business of Schools, co-edited by Brendon Hyndman and Vaughan Cruickshank.
Field-building purpose
The volume brings together areas that are often separated by disciplines, portfolios and policy structures, despite being experienced together in children's everyday school lives.
It provides an international scholarly conversation around the conditions, capabilities and foundations that crowded systems can overlook.
