Education@Deakin: the Pleasure of Intellectual Travel and the Baggage of Staying Home

  • Chapter
Education, Social Justice and the Legacy of Deakin University

Part of the book series: Transgressions: Cultural Studies and Education ((TRANS,volume 76))

Abstract

For one of the few academics remaining in Education@Deakin over twenty-two years, the notion of a Deakin Education diaspora produces feelings of both nostalgia and discontent. It is easy to be nostalgic about the period during the late1980s when a critical mass of education scholars created the Deakin ‘critical edge’. This feeling is tinged with some regret as to what alternative pathways I may have followed if I too had joined the diaspora and moved on to other universities and overseas.
