'This collection of works could not be more timely. Whilst technocratic approaches to areas such as education, politics and social and health care dominate current discourse and policy enactment, this work acts as a critical reminder that at the heart of all public life, human interaction requires significant care. This book critiques perfunctory approaches to ethical considerations and opens up current discussions regarding the need for a purposefully caring approach to research, teaching and learning. A highly engaging and beautifully crafted collection that needs to become foundational material for all involved in education whether as teachers, researchers or indeed, policy makers.' Gary Husband, Chair of the Association for Research in Post-Compulsory Education, UK 'This book should be read by all those who teach, manage, lead and support students in further education (FE). The over-riding mission of FE is to offer excellent and distinctive experiences in vocational education and training and to support learners from entry level through to university level education. With ethics at its heart, Solvason and Elliott have gathered together in this volume intelligent and passionate voices for values-based education. Its tone is at once generous, critical, reflective, and urgent. I hope that this book can create a space where practitioners and policy makers can envision a new and bold system of education that meet the diverse needs of learners in all sectors.'
