From Silent Witnesses to Active Agents

Smyth's research is pursued with vigour through the lives he researches, as he interrupts and punctures `bad' theory, supplanting it with more democratic alternatives, which, by his own admission, makes his research (and all research), political.

Becoming Educated examines the education of young people, especially those from the most `disadvantaged' contexts. This book shifts the focus to matters such as taking social class into consideration, puncturing notions of poverty and disadvantage, understanding neighborhoods as places of hope and creating spaces within which to listen to young peoples' aspirations.

Presents a study of the relationship of time and conscious experience. This title examines such issues as: how we are able to be conscious of time, whether time exists independently of conscious experience, and whether the conscious experiencer exists in time in the same way that ordinary natural objects are thought to exist in time.

This book explores schools and how they can function as social institutions that advance the interests and life chances of all young people, especially those who are already the most marginalized and at an educational disadvantage.
