Race, Racism and the Geography Curriculum
John Morgan, University of Auckland, New Zealand & David Lambert, IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK This book asks: what is an appropriate curriculum response to the acute, renewed interest in issues of race and racism in the UK? How does a school subject like geography respond? Drawing upon and extending insights from ‘social realism’, it explores what a Future 3 geography curriculum might look like - recognizing the importance of the academic discipline as a source of curriculum-making while avoiding geographical knowledge becoming reified and petrified (set in stone) - will look like. The book focuses sharply on issues of race and racism, enabling teachers to engage in geography curriculum making that is racially literate.

This book addresses a significant gap in the research literature on transitions across the school years: the continuities and discontinuities in school literacy education and their implications for practice. The contributors investigate key transition points for individual students’ literacy development, elements of literacy knowledge that are at stake at each of these points, and variability in students’ experiences. This book reveals literacy-specific curriculum demands and considers how teachers and students experience and account for these evolving demands.

Exploring Young Children’s Agency in Everyday Transitions
Pernille Juhl, Roskilde University, Denmark This book presents new ethnographic research carried out with five children between one and five years old.

She argues that we should understand young children as active, rather than passive, subjects co-creating together with co-participants such as parents, professionals and other children, the conditions under which they live.

Challenging Approaches to Academic Career-Making
Celia Whitchurch, IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK, William Locke, University of Melbourne, Australia & Giulio Marini, Social Science Research Institute at University College London, UK This book uses the concept of formal and informal institutional economies as a metaphorical frame for ways in which contemporary academic staff in the UK and other English-speaking countries approach their roles and careers.

They go on to consider a shift towards bespoke and openended approaches to roles and careers, and ways that academic and associated staff express themselves as professionals.

Universities and Regions
The Impact of Locality and Region on University Governance and Strategies
Michael Shattock, IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK & Aniko Horvath, Free University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands This book explores the impact of regions on universities and shows how the diversity of the higher education landscape is critically affected by the geophysical character of regions and their highly differentiated economies and cultures. The authors examine these relationships through 12 widely representative institutional case studies, a review of higher and further education relationships and a comparative account of regional governance policies in some continental European countries. They discuss the linkage of a move to a tertiary education approach in England with the need for decentralisation to regions in the context of a 'levelling up' agenda.

Pursuing Teaching Excellence in Higher Education
Towards an Inclusive Perspective
Margaret Wood, York St John University, UK & Feng Su, Liverpool Hope University, UK This book explores the concept of teaching excellence and its framing in neoliberal ideological assumptions of performativity, new public management and competition. It argues for more critical, nuanced and sustainable understandings of how teaching excellence is understood and enacted. Wood and Su argue that greater emphasis should be given to the plurality of stakeholders’ perspectives in higher education and that the dialogic space needs to become a multiple perspective debate on the matter of teaching excellence. They also argue for the debate to be reconceptualised in more democratic terms as a space for learning together across multiple stakeholder perspectives.

A New Theory of Organizational Ecology, and its Implications for Educational Leadership
Christopher M. Branson, Australian Catholic University, Australia & Maureen Marra, inLeadership, New Zealand This book argues that it is precisely the limited interpretation of what truly constitutes an organisational ecosystem that has constrained its effectiveness. Branson and Marra argue that a far more ecologically comprehensive interpretation is needed to illuminate a more insightful explanation of the organisation’s cultural dynamics and the essential role of the leader within this context. As well as looking at the implications for leadership and culture in general, they hone in on the specifics of the educational sector. The Ethics of Discipline in Education

Thompson, Ohio State University, USA & John Tillson, Liverpool Hope University, UK Written by interdisciplinary authors from the fields of educational policy, early childhood education, history, political philosophy, law, and moral philosophy, this volume addresses the use of disciplinary action across varied educational contexts.

International Schooling
Privilege and Power in Globalized Societies
Lucy Bailey, Bahrain Teachers College, Bahrain Presenting new research from countries including Russia, Malaysia, the UAE, the UK, and Bahrain, this book explores ways in which international schools adapt to local cultural contexts; and examines the views of parents, students, teachers and school leaders towards the education that they provide. The author argues international schooling offers contradictory potential. On one hand it is a progressive movement to promote internationalism and inter-cultural understanding, and on the other hand it is a system through which structural inequalities are replicated, or even accentuated, by its creation of a new global elite.

Edited by Avi I. Mintz, Humber College, Canada This volume traces the history of Western philosophy of education in Antiquity. Between the fifth century BCE and the fifth century CE, Plato, Isocrates, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, and others, raised questions about the nature of teaching and learning, the relationship of education and politics, and the elements of a distinctively philosophical education. Their arguments on these topics launched a conversation that occupied philosophers over the millennia and continues today.

Edited by Tal Gilead, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel This volume traces the history of Western philosophy of education through the Age of Enlightenment. The period between 1650 and 1850 was one of rapid intellectual development that revolutionized how education is viewed. Even the most progressive thinkers of the start of this period would have found the educational ideas expressed at its end odd, alien, and even dangerous. Shaped by broad intellectual movements, such as the Enlightenment, the counter-enlightenment and romanticism, as well as by the work of exceptional individuals including John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Hélvetius, Mary Wollstonecraft, Pestalozzi, Fröbel and Emerson, the educational philosophy of this period has laid the foundations of how we think of and conduct education today.

Why Teach Philosophy in Schools?
The Case for Philosophy on the Curriculum
Jane Gatley, Swansea University, UK This book presents a case for teaching philosophy in schools centred around two original arguments for teaching philosophy to all students at some point over the course of their education. Gatley argues that teaching philosophy is the best way to help students to think clearly using ordinary, or non-specialist concepts such as ‘good’, ‘truth’, or ‘happiness’. She goes on to argues that teaching philosophy is the best way to help students to make sense of the different conceptual schemes used by different school subjects.
