    Abstract

    This thesis investigates the forces, processes and themes presenting in understandings of opportunity as experienced through young peoples’ lives, (aged 15-17), where disengagement from formal learning arrangements creates displacement against a range of societal norms. The work delivers through narrative, phenomenology, and writing, within an embodied hermeneutic inquiry. A dialogue with the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and student voices is in juxtaposition with the shifting ground of politics and policy within the Tasmanian (Aust) landscape.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
