Education is a social practice that poses ethical questions of
policy and practice at every level and at almost every turn - what
we teach, how we teach, how we organise educational provision, how
we research it, who controls it, and what principles drive policy
nationally and internationally. This collection is rooted in the
author's experience in the education system nationally and
internationally over half a century, and reflects both the
educational history of this period and the author's experience as a
teacher, parent, school governor, teacher trainer, educational
researcher, senior leader in higher education, and advisor to
governments in many parts of the world. It is, then, historically
located, but the approach to ethical questions is primarily in the
tradition of analytic philosophy, and applied and situated ethics.
The year 2020 presented conflicts in higher education, including a
global pandemic, racial protests, cries for Black Lives Matter
following the deaths of Black women and men by police, education
moved online to virtual classrooms, and the U.S. economy struggling
as millions of Americans were furloughed or worked remotely and
ordered everything curbside; all of this compounded by an election
year. This book is a compilation of perspectives shared from
students enrolled in a graduate course on diversity and social
justice in higher education who found community in sharing their
personal and professional experiences associated with identity and
allyship development, socialization, activism, institutionalized
racism, academic traditions, advising, to implications for change
in higher education policies, processes, and practice.
Responsive learning and responsible learning have not been
considered and utilized appropriately in the past, especially in
light of the post-pandemic higher education landscape. A discussion
and consideration of the different elements that make up responsive
and responsible learning such as agency, agility, mindfulness,
connectedness, resourcefulness, active and seamless learning, and
regulation of learning are required to advance the field of higher
education. Cases on Responsive and Responsible Learning in Higher
Education encompasses cases on responsive and responsible learning
in higher education and focuses on how the concepts are translated
into practice by instructors, learning facilitators, and higher
education managers. The book also deals with various practicalities
and strategies and adopts existing models and frameworks for 21st
century learning. Covering key topics such as learner agency,
mindfulness, and personalized learning, this reference work is
ideal for administrators, policymakers, researchers, academicians,
practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.
