Biography
Carla Solvason, Nicola Stobbs and Geoffrey Elliott are all based at the University of Worcester. They have always had an interest in more human-centred approaches to education, illustrated by Carla and Geoffrey publishing Ethics in Education in 2023. Just prior to this, Nicola had embedded a social pedagogical approach within the BA Early Childhood in Society course that she led, and they established a Social Pedagogy Research Group at the university. This group has grown from strength to strength, and their seminal publication, A human approach to restructuring the education system: why schools in England need social pedagogy, published in the International Journal of Social Pedagogy, has been read by thousands of people keen to see educational change.
This book is both timely in its concerns and rigorous in the way it weaves together theory and practice, offering insights that speak directly to contemporary educational challenges.It will be useful to education academics and students alike, but will also have resonance and relevance for wider professionals of both the education and care sectors. - Alexandra Hay, Educational Futures, [online] Vol. 17(1).
