This Handbook provides an interdisciplinary discussion on the role and complexity of ethics in education. Its central aim is to democratise scholarship by highlighting diverse voices, ideas, and places. It is organised into three sections, each examining ethics from a different perspective: ethics and education historically; ethics within institutional practice, and emerging ethical frameworks in education. Important questions are raised and discussed, such as the role of past ethical traditions in contemporary education, how educators should confront ethical dilemma, how schools should be organised to serve all children, and how pluralism, democracy, and technology impact ethics in education. It offers new insights and opportunities for renewal in the complex and often contentious task of ethics and education.

This handbook covers the history, policy, practice and theories of African and Caribbean education and promotes the sustainability of socio-cultural beliefs, values, knowledge and skills in the regions. Africa and the Caribbean share commonalities of the geopolitical and historical dominance by European empires and colonialism and aftereffects of anti-blackness in the global trade in enslaved persons. Indigenous religious, cultural, and ethnic currents in Africa are echoed in the Caribbean along with a strong infusion of Asian and other ethnic influences. The handbook shows how educators in both regions are grappling with Western education eclipsing indigenous epistemology and contributes to important debates and discourses including culturally relevant teaching, decolonization, critical race theory, Africana studies, Black emancipation, the African diaspora, Bi-cultural experiences, and the climate emergency. It is organized into three sections covering past issues that frame education in Africa and the Caribbean; the present challenges and opportunities of Education in the regions; and future opportunities for education post-2020.

This book provides a wealth of insights for research in the Caribbean and the global South more broadly. Its premise - that the specifics of life in these parts of the world are essential in observing, documenting, and transmitting knowledge in and about them - challenges Western-centric approaches and expands visual research methodologies for Caribbean-specific contexts. Visual research methods offer a pathway to documentation and representation of phenomena across multiple domains in various genres of experiences. This compendium of conceptual/theoretical, arts-based and non-arts based empirical research makes the case for visual modality in those research methodologies. The chapters document research in the small countries in the Greater and Lesser Antilles and those that are adjacent to the Caribbean Sea, such as Belize and Bermuda. Altogether, they provide qualitative insight into the human story of sub-populations as well the usefulness of visual tools in representing, documenting, and expressing the meaning and meaning-making that resides there.

Society as School Context: In the Mindset of Emergent Teacher and Democratic Subject provides students with a moral and theoretical understanding of education and its implications for schooling in a democratic society. The book elucidates primary social, political, and historical ideas that have influenced schooling from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade throughout the early 21st century. The text helps teachers-in-training become culturally literate, critically conscious, and well prepared to serve student populations from various backgrounds and diverse lived experiences.The text asks of readers five open-ended questions that are framed to foster critical reflexivity and self-aware responses about schools in contemporary American society. The book also includes seminal readings across theoretical, philosophical, deconstructive, and reconstructive orientations that align with these questions. Students explore the aims of education in a democratic society, the significance of the social and political context of pre-K through 12th grade schools, the teaching ramifications of culturally relevant pedagogy, making meaning of being an emergent teacher, and the foundational philosophical ideas that shape education in a democratic society.Society as School Context is well-suited for courses in the social, historical, political, and/or cultural foundations of education, and introduction to educational policy studies. It is also a valuable resource for novice and seasoned teachers alike.
