Biography
Guanglun Michael Mu is a sociologist of education. He is an Enterprise Fellow at the University of South Australia, an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Queensland University of Technology, and the author of seven books. His work engages with resilience building, Bourdieu’s sociology, and quantitative and mixed methods research.
"This book offers a compelling argument for the need to reframe resiliency for children and young people as a complex sociological phenomenon that, when understood from a sociological perspective, not only supports researchers and practitioners working with children and youth in the area of resiliency, but offers opportunities for making wider societal change."
Dr Jennifer Fane, Director of Education, Learning Disabilities Society, British Columbia
