About the Authors
Ian Mackie has held a number of separate but related vocations in
his working life. His roles however, whether as leader of the Qld
Teachers’ Union or within the educational bureaucracy have all
involved work across the community, public and private sectors.
The work he has undertaken aligns with his personal belief in the
broader social agenda of the empowerment of the individual and
communities to rise and embrace challenge and opportunity. This
theme has underpinned his long and fulfilling career in public
education, training, community development, wider social policy
agenda setting and the union movement. For the last decade his
work has been closely related to achieving good results at the
coal face of education service delivery and Indigenous issues to
empower local communities and practitioners to focus on the individual
not only as an individual, but in addition as a member of
a community or grouping and also as a human being with a full
range of human rights.
Gary MacLennan has worked as a teacher, academic and public
servant for some five decades. He has taught in Ireland, China,
Africa and Australia at all levels of the educational system.
Currently he works as a consultant with Austeur Enterprises
focussing principally on Indigenous education. He has a long term
interest in philosophy especially the work of the late Roy Bhaskar’s.
Gary’s current interest lies in interdisciplinary work that draw upon
Bhaskarian Critical Realism and Dual Process Cognitive theory
