He provides a series of empirical contributions by reporting on interview data with a range of school-based actors to spotlight existing views, practices and issues, and to call attention to hopes, desires, and fears for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book provides a critical account of student voice in contemporary schools. Student voice is not taken at face value or accepted as being undisputedly positive, nor are schools or the people in them treated as homogenous entities devoid of context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSignificantly, researcher subjectivity is central vis-à-vis the generation, examination, interpretation, and presentation of the empirical data. There is no claim to objectivity in this book, and it is subjectivity that comes to the fore – through what Skerritt coins the ‘I(nterest) behind this research’, major emphasis is placed on his own experiences shaping his outlook. Skerritt occupies a certain vantage point and sees student voice through a particular lens, and this is reflected in the contents of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596048449772,"sku":"9781350445949","price":401.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1ee82fd0121c86b415b14eb873663eed.jpg?v=1777931780"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/craig-skerritt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
