Making Modern Lives looks at how young people shape their lives as they move through their secondary school years and into the world beyond. It explores how they develop dispositions, attitudes, identities, and orientations in modern society. Based on an eight-year study consisting of more than 350 in-depth interviews with young Australians from diverse backgrounds, the book reveals the effects of schooling and of local school cultures on young people's choices, future plans, political values, friendships, and attitudes toward school, work, and sense of self. Making Modern Lives uncovers who young people are today, what type of identities and inequalities are being formed and reformed, and what processes and politics are at work in relation to gender, class, race, and the framing of vocational futures.

DPR Down Under Volume 2 draws together a spirited collection of papers presented at the Australian Discourse Power and Resistance conference held in Darwin 2012. The volume of work addresses and seeks to contextualise the problematic question “What counts as ‘good’ research and who decides?” Each chapter in this volume, written from differing theoretical and methodological positions articulates a notion of what could be considered as being ‘good’ research and is, in some way involved in speaking a truth back to power. The chapters invite the reader to rethink and reconsider the inherently political, critical and subversive nature of research from a range of critical investigations.

When we hear Parimies (Greek for proverbs and sayings) we often say I remember my grandmother saying that, but we probably never fully captured the power and depth of these words. Even though the young generations of migrants of the diaspora may have been exposed to the language of the Parimies by their parents and grandparents, the beauty and strength of the messages, was only vaguely understood as the next generations experienced a language barrier which prevented full comprehension and appreciation of these proverbs. During my childhood, Parimies comprised a rich part of my parents and grandparents vocabulary who often conveyed messages to us through the powerful tool of these proverbs. The wisdom, philosophy and logic of the Parimies fascinated me as a young boy. I made a promise to myself that one day I would present these ancient gems in a way which I hope will ignite a spark of inspiration to be carried through to future generations. Well, this is what this book is all about. I have stayed true to my goal and after four years of research and hard work, I put before you every aspect of the fascinating world of the Parimies . I hope that the humour and sadness of the stories used as examples (mainly true stories from my own life experience) will resonate with you dear reader and give you an insight of the richness of the Greek /Cypriot culture family values and life in general. Its the kind of book that you will come back to from time to time and I truly hope that it will find a very special place in your personal library.
