This is a book of conversations with researchers working across
Europe, the USA and Africa. It aims to illuminate the lived reality of
educational research on a wide variety of topics, including family
life in rural South Africa, support for self-harming students in the
UK, character development in the USA and Korea, educational leadership
in the UK and China, philosophical analysis of education policy, and
much more. The book is for and about researchers and is built around a
set of conversations with the author – a fellow researcher.
Researchers work at the frontiers of our knowledge and understanding
of the world, and frontiers can be dangerous places. How are the
researchers’ personal qualities – virtues such as courage, honesty
and kindness – tested and exemplified in their work? The
conversations presented here explore the experience of research and
ask what qualities are needed, or wished for, in order to successfully
face its challenges. There are many books that include lists of what
to do and what not to do when carrying out research. Here, in
contrast, we find out what really happens and why – and what it
takes to keep going.
