(Re?) Designing Education, Ethically and Psychologically: A Cause for Care

di Simon Gibbs (Autore)

Brill, 2026

We live in divided and diverse societies. Current data tell us that the state of education in much of the western world may be ill-designed and ill-suited to the future needs of society. The legislated culture of education in schools frequently seems hostile to the well-being of both teachers and young people. In this current piece of work, I offer some questions about why this may be the case. With the context of climate change and global metamorphosis in mind I suggest we need to ask and discuss what we might mean by and want for ‘education’: what might be its purposes; could it be better, more ethical; shouldn’t it be more inclusive? Alternatively, we might ask, simply, ‘what is the problem that education / schools might address?’ Further discussion and ensuing answers to these questions might, I suggest, help us learn how to be human beings who care about and for each other and our diverse natures.
