Even when educators figured emotions into theory/practice, feelings were too often assumed to be one’s own, independent of social context and interpersonal interaction. Liz Jackson’s Emotions skewers that assumption — from a crosscultural perspective — and encourages us to refigure the emotional dimensions of educational experience. Both timely and well-argued!

In this short and highly accessible book, Jackson takes us on a whistle-stop tour to critically examine the particulars of educating emotions. This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about the educational benefits of a more rounded understanding of compassion, empathy, kindness, resilience and mindfulness, as they are cashed out in learner settings.

This series of short form books explores issues, topics and themes that are foundational to educational practices both within and beyond the boundaries of formal education. With books on topics such as collaboration, responsibility, touch and emotions, the series generates philosophical discussions of education that are accessible to the curious reader and draws out commonalities and differences in thinking about and doing education across cultures. By addressing educational thought and practice in a philosophical manner the series encourages us to look beyond pre-specified ‘learning outcomes’ and asks us to slow down and explore the messiness and complexity of educational situations.
