The late Joe Kincheloe once wrote: "...the amazing Deakin mafia provided innovative and unprecedented critical scholarship on education for a few short years."
Academics and graduates of the pioneering Deakin Diaspora years in the 1980s and 1990s explored the theme of the Criticality through a series of think-pieces, panels and discussions, with links to overseas participants.
