"Ethical Dilemmas in Educational Research is a valuable resource
for both researchers and supervisors. Having myself sat on a
university ethics committee, I appreciate not only the
considerations needed when approving applications but also the
controversy around what could be viewed as undue restrictions on
research. The real-life and hypothetical dilemmas presented in this
book should help guide researchers towards effective but ethically
sensitive designs. This book not only provides useful information
on the researcher's responsibilities regarding their participants,
but also includes the importance of addressing their own wellbeing
during the research process, something that is often overlooked."
Dr Katy Smart CPsychol AFBPsS, Department of Psychiatry, University
of Oxford, UK Ethical Dilemmas in Educational Research is an
invaluable guide for educational researchers around the world,
helping to develop best practices and make informed decisions. This
book demonstrates how a careful balance must be struck between the
needs of participants, increasing regulatory guidelines and the
academic freedom of the educational researcher. The authors discuss
an array of issues arising in the field of educational research,
including: ethical dilemmas in action, issues of agency and
privacy, and researcher reflexivity. With a foreword by Professor
Ian Menter, this book goes beyond the guidelines and focuses on the
specific dilemmas that educational researchers face, illustrated
with real-life and inclusive examples. The book: Focuses on the
resolution of ethical dilemmas in educational research, and not
just the dilemmas themselves Highlights the role of committees and
guidelines, with an emphasis on misunderstandings and common
purposes Is written by academics from differing theoretical and
methodological perspectives and disciplines across the spectrum of
educational research Presents specific dilemmas encountered during
research in the early years, schools and universities The authors
use these ideas to build on the foundations of an ethical approach
and find new ways of working together and learning from one
another, to ensure best practice in the educational research field
and forge a more united forward path. Carol Brown is Chair of the
Cross University Research Ethics Subcommittee at Oxford Brookes
University, UK. Mary Wild is Professor in Education and former Head

A life of liberty and responsibility does not just happen, but
requires a particular kind of education, one that aims at both a
growth of the human soul and an enrichment of political society in
justice and the common good. This we call a liberal education.
Forgetfulness of liberty is also a forgetfulness of the
multi-dimensional nature of the human person, and a diminution of
political life. Keeping in mind what can be lost when liberal
education is lost, this volume makes the case for recovering what
is perennially noble and good in the liberal arts, and why the
liberal arts always have a role to play in human flourishing. Each
of the authors herein focuses on the connection of three primary
themes: human dignity, liberal education, and political society.
Intentionally rooted in the hub that joins the three themes, each
author seeks to unfold the contemporary significance of that hub.
As a whole, the volume explores how the three themes are crucial to
each other: how they illuminate each other, how they need each
other, and how the loss of one jeopardizes the wellbeing of the
others. In individual chapters, the authors engage various relevant
aspects of liberal education. As a result, the volume is organized
into three parts: Liberal Education and a Life Well Lived; Thinkers
on Dignity and Education in History; Contemporary Topics in Dignity
and Education. As education is increasingly channeled into an ever
more narrow focus on technical specialization, and measured against
professional success, students themselves face a maelstrom of
campus politics and competing political orthodoxies. These are
among the issues that tend to militate against the operative
liberty of the student to think and to speak as a person. This
edited collection is offered as an invitation to think again about
the liberal arts in order to recover the meaning of education as
the authentic pursuit of the good life or eudemonia.
Imagine being famous. Being recognized on the street, adored by
people who have never even met you, known the world over. Wouldn't
that be great?
But what if, one day, you got stuck in a country where celebrity
means nothing, where no one spoke your language and you didn't
speak theirs, where no one knew your face (no book jackets, no TV)
and you had no way of calling home? How would your fame help you
then?
What if someone got hold of your cell phone? What if they spoke to
your girlfriends, your agent, your director, and started making
decisions for you? And worse, what if no one believed you were you
anymore? When you saw a look-alike acting your roles for you, what
would you do?
And what if one day you realized your magnum opus, like everything
else you'd ever written, was a total waste of time, empty nonsense?
What would you do next? Would your audience of seven million people
keep you going? Or would you lose the capacity to keep on doing
it?
Fame and facelessness, truth and deception, spin their way through
all nine episodes of this captivating, wickedly funny, and
perpetually surprising novel as paths cross and plots thicken, as
characters become real people and real people morph into
characters. The result is a dazzling tour de force by one of
Europe's finest young writers.
