Foreword 1
The title of this book maps the key drive of this innovative and timely edited collection. This is an important and well-crafted book by early educationalists and researchers Dr Christopher R. Matthews, Dr Ursula Edgington and Dr Alex Channon. The editors and contributors care deeply about the power of teaching and learning; the pages are fired up with critical pedagogical approaches to spark the imagination. The introduction offers the framing of the methodological, theoretical, conceptual and ethical journey of the book; this is brought to life by the powerful personal narratives and learning journeys of the editors. The chapters that follow, by new and experienced scholars, offer a nuanced and sharp lens that probe structural issues that play out in and outside Higher Education (HE) and Further Education
