Sisters Who Homeschool Podcast
Hi there, we are two sisters living in Queensland, Australia who both chose the homeschool journey for our families.
We have created this little space in the world for homeschooling families to share, celebrate and empower themselves with stories and knowledge, giving our listeners an authentic insight into homeschooling in Australia in all its forms.
Wherever you are, wherever you’re at, thank you for listening to Sisters Who Homeschool and welcome to the wild and wonderful family!
We would love to answer your questions and help you share your stories.

Episode 25: Unschooling with Professor Gina Riley and Dr Rebecca English (Part One)
We are very excited to announce the incredible Professor Gina Riley joins us today.
Our very first international guest!
Professor Riley is an educational psychologist, Clinical Professor, and Program Leader of the Adolescent Special Education Program at CUNY – Hunter College. Professor Riley is recognised internationally for her research in the fields of homeschooling, unschooling and intrinsic motivation.
But, wait - there's more!
We are also joined by the wonderful Dr Rebecca English. As a researcher, teacher and mother, Dr English's work is concerned with parenting and education. She holds a particular interest in the choice of non-mainstream education, especially democratic schools and home education.
In part one of this episode, both Gina and Rebecca begin to unpack unschooling stereotypes, myths and what the research actually tells us both here in Australia, as well as in the US. Gina also shares her personal experience of unschooling her son.
A BIG THANKYOU to both Gina and Rebecca who kindly offered up their time to share all of their valuable research and experience with the Sisters Who Homeschool Podcast.
Show Notes!
