While education is often tasked with educating students for a somewhat infinite number of futures, it is perhaps possible to say that no matter what the future is, people will continue to live with and care for one another in some capacity. To be attentive to this future is not to educate for a specific, fully developed and already decided upon…

This work reviews the approach of the ethics of care in education and analyzes how the foundations of this ethicality contribute to the dialogical construction of teachers' professional identity (attribution, projection, development and transformation). Professional identity is questioned when care is considered an epistemological and ethical…

Utilising emancipatory approaches to educational technology in higher education allows welcoming creative and artistic modes of inquiry. This article presents two methods, a virtual makerspace and a guided fantasy story that were applied in a project concerned with rewilding higher education pedagogy.

They may be required to possess various kinds of professional…

This paper examines translation in qualitative research as an ethic of care. I conceptualize care-ful translation in conversation with teachers in India who enact care as a complex entanglement of establishing normativity, carrying out responsibility, and being responsive. I focus my examination on dhyaan, a Hindi term used by teachers when…

We use these to discuss why it is essential for educators to reflect upon this aspect of their…

Superdiversity now highlights the complexity of diverse societies. Celebrating and encouraging diverse populations, therefore, remains a priority to ensure fair and equitable treatment for all. Multiculturalism, once seen as part of the solution to diversity issues, is now regarded as problematic, although this is by no means new. Asian contexts…
