| | QJER 19, 2003: Danaher, Moriarty and Danaher - social entrepreneurship - Australian show people - rural communities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | Drawing on ongoing research (Danaher, 1998, 2001a, 2001b) into the educational aspirations, experiences and opportunities of the show people, the authors of this paper use that paradox as a springboard for highlighting the multiple links and associations necessary to supporting rural education and hence crucial to understanding the proposition of education as community development. |
 | | Despite this internal differentiation, show people are conscious of their perceived difference from permanently resident Australians (although many of them have their own permanent residences in addition to their mobile caravans) and of the educational consequences of that difference. |
 | | The authors are grateful to the Australian show people, and to the Principal and staff members of the Queensland School for Travelling Show Children and to the Executive Director of the Education Queensland District in which the school is located, for their support and encouragement of the research project reported here. |
