Palgrave Macmillan. https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137393593_11

Reay’s point is extremely poignant: she is calling for culture change and, short of a revolution in education, this is surely a must for both young people and staff. Cooper (2012) similarly calls for a radical shift in youth work to counter the curre... Read More about ‘Imagining otherwise’ or tinkering with the system?.
