This deliberately wide-ranging book addresses issues related to trust,
compassion, well-being, grace, dignity and integrity. It explores
these within the context of higher education, giving existential and
empirical accounts of how these moral duties can be expressed within
the academy and why they ought to be. The chapters range from values
used in the marketing and management of institutions to their
realisation in therapeutic and teacher training spaces. The book opens
with a specific introduction which positions the work and outlines the
context of duties and obligations at play. This is followed by two
distinct but related sections including chapters on theoretical
issues, organisational practices and personal praxis. The first part
is more abstract and theoretical, the second locates the values
discussed within the practices of the university. In doing so the book
encompasses a wide range of issues from multi-disciplinary and
geo-political regions. The authors are a mixture of world-leading
authorities on values in higher education and earlier career
researchers, who are nonetheless equally passionate contributors. This
mix gives the book vibrancy and offers insight which appeals to both
an academic and managerial readership.
