Biographical note
Liz Jackson is Professor of International Education at the Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. She is the immediate past president of the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia and the former director of the Comparative Education Research Centre at the University of Hong Kong. She is the author of Beyond Virtue: The Politics of Educating Emotions (2020) and Founder of the ViEW Platform (Virtues in Education East and West).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.
