    'This issue focuses largely on the teaching of literature and identity: covering class, culture, personal multiple identities as writers/ researchers/ teachers and critical thinking. The issue opens with Wayne Sawyer’s Garth Boomer address on the important concerns of low SES students in English and the importance of teacher-researcher programs. This paper was delivered at the 2017, Cutting Edge, AATE conference in Hobart and if you did not attend that conference and hear Professor Sawyer speak, I urge you to read this opening paper as it affects most of us concerned with equity in education. This paper reports on research which covers how to intellectually engage low SES students in literature study via mentoring and teacher researcher collaborative professional learning programs.'
