About the Author
Rosie Canning is a writer and researcher who uses a care experience lens-a way of seeing the world through the eyes of those who have lived in care. She grew up in London in foster care and children's homes. A reader of orphan tales, she went on to study literature and become a librarian. Rosie completed a PhD which reflected on the practice of writing an autobiographical novel, Hiraeth, and the representation of care-experience in literature. Hiraeth follows a young girl leaving care in London in the mid-1970s and finding her way in the world.
Dee Michell is a researcher, academic and advocate based in South Australia. She was placed in foster care at age 3 and lived in that system for about 15 years. Later in life she went into higher education, completing her university studies (including a PhD) as a mature-age student. One of her major publications is The Slow Evolution of Foster Care in Australia - Just Like a Family? (co-written with Nell Musgrove) which traces the history of foster care in Australia, situating personal stories of care-experienced people alongside policy, institutional and social change.
