The Author: Lisa S. Goldstein is Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, where she teaches in the early childhood education and curriculum studies programs. She is the author of Teaching with Love: A Feminist Approach to Early Childhood Education (Peter Lang, 1997).

«Lisa S. Goldstein is a thoughtful and convincing scholar who draws from sources as diverse as bell hooks and Robert Sternberg to present a richer, more multifaceted understanding of caring. In this book, Goldstein moves beyond previous scholars to help us understand caring not only as a moral enterprise, but as it relates to pedagogical and curricular decision making and the education of future teachers.» (Dwight Rogers, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)«Few academics understand the intricacies of teaching with care. Lisa S. Goldstein does. Goldstein captures the complex intellectual and emotional components of caring teaching. She provides a clear and rich depiction, one that honors both the profession of teaching and the work of teacher educators. Her work is a treat.» (Dan Liston, School of Education, University of Colorado at Boulder)
