Focusing on the lifeworlds of primary school children in Melbourne, this book delves into their experiences both in and out of school. It examines diverse interpretations of educational success beyond mere academic achievement, analyzing policy, curriculum, and classroom dynamics. Through surveys, ethnographies, and video re-enactments, the research highlights key themes such as school engagement, belonging, and daily routines. The comprehensive exploration reveals the interconnectedness of children's lives and the broader policy implications affecting their education and experiences.

This book explores lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans, and non-binary people's relationships with animal companions. Drawing on the authors' research across psychology, media, gender studies, and sociology, the book combines theory and evidence to frame the queer entanglements of human and animal lives as a menagerie of interweaving experiences.
