Wellbeing and Schooling
Collectively, the research presented in this book revisits, challenges, and rearticulates taken-for-granted wellbeing conceptualisations, policies and intervention frameworks, as critical discussion of wellbeing in relation to children and young people from a variety of socio-cultural, political, and economic settings is still relatively sparse. The contributions work synergistically to generate a sophisticated understanding of children’s wellbeing while introducing fresh and context-sensitive approaches.

Resilience and Health
What decides whether a person suffering misfortune bounces back quickly or falls into despair for years? Which processes and mechanisms constitute psychological resilience? Is there a particular, evolutionary-shaped model of human adaptation, which enables a person to maintain mental health in unfavorable and dynamically changing circumstances? All these questions are addressed by the contributors to the monograph titled Resilience and Health in a Fast-Changing World. While searching for the answers the authors refer to an extensive scholarly literature, their own theoretical investigations as well as to the outcomes of empirical researches conducted.
Researching Within the Educational Margins
This book explores the challenges and considerations of researchers who work on the educational margins of society. It investigates the diverse and specific research strategies that have been developed to ensure research is authentic, ethical, rigorous, situated and, where possible, empowering. Traversing cutting-edge global research, the chapters demonstrate the effectiveness of specific research methods when researching within educational margins related to particular ‘wicked problems’. Against a backdrop of increasing scrutiny of the conduct of researchers working with marginalised people, this book provides an informed and empowering overview of research methods for those working with marginalised groups.

Children's Social and Emotional Wellbeing in Schools
This book is a challenge to the concept of wellbeing as applied to children, suggesting that it should be understood at the level of the child, rather than a list of things that are needed in order to live well.
The Abandoned Children
This book is about a young girl who was orphaned at a young age. She was an only child with two loving parents who loved her unconditionally. Her parents were killed in a car accident and instead of her accepting it as an accidental death, she took it as though they abandoned her. Even though she was left in the care of the aunt, her mothers sister; her husband; and their two children who were an upscale family, she chose to go the other way by hanging out with the wrong people and doing drugs. That went on until she got pregnant by her childhood boyfriend, and they were married at a young age. After three children together, he was still her stability, until one Sunday, he went to the grocery store and walked in on a robbery and was shot and killed. That sent her over the edge, giving the same sense that she had with her parents that he had abandoned her and the children. That lead her back to the streets and doing drugs until it took her life temporally after having an out-of-body experience with the afterlife. Once she understood the importance of family, she was given a second chance to live with the support of her family.
