‘This Handbook on Rural and Remote Education is a timely and significant addition to those who have sought to “add the rural” to all aspects of educational research for many decades. The Handbook signals the maturation of the field and is an excellent collection drawn from across a diverse range of international contexts and perspectives. It is so pleasing to see research from all corners of the world brought together in this one volume. The collection of authors highlights the depth of those who research “the rural and remote” and brings together the wisdom of the more senior elders in the field to those emerging scholars who will carry the field forward. This is a significant achievement by the editors and I highly recommend this volume to all.’
