Summary:

We need to trust people and institutions, values and truths. But where should we turn to find which are trustworthy? Does trusting make us vulnerable to abuse? Is it safe for learners - the children, young people and adults in the world of contemporary education - to trust their teachers to care, and to tell the truth? And can teachers trust their managers and institutional practices? This book examines the nature and role of trust in contemporary culture where consoling traditional certainties are lost.

The Discourse, Power, Resistance series has established a reputation for radical critique of the values and practices of contemporary education and for the steady affirmation of what is best and most significant in emerging educational discourse.

The writers in this, DPR volume 8, are drawn from five countries. They present a penetrating critical analysis of the breakdown of trust in contemporary culture and especially in education. And they offer down-to-earth accounts of what is needed on the way ahead if that trust is to be recovered. Book jacket.
