Abstract	It is perhaps too easy to suggest that rurality in educational terms has been largely missing from the pages of educational research texts. A search of the past few AARE annual conference papers throws up few papers on this topic; although an issue of "Australian Journal of Education" includes a paper on long-staying rural teachers (Boylan & McSwann, 1998), while the "International Studies in Educational Administration," looks at small country schools in Wales (Huckman, 1998 p.3). What is at stake in the invisibility of the non-metropolitan in educational research? In this article, the author first considers the role of universities and disciplinary traditions in the continued invisibility of rural schooling. She then outlines four projects that staffs at Central Queensland University have used as jumping-off points to explore theoretical issues for re-inscribing rurality within their own educational research. This is followed by a brief overview of some key theoretical resources drawn from contemporary social theory (mainly outside education) which are helpful in exploring these projects as enscribed in rural education.
