Call for proposals – Special issue on Compassionate Pedagogy

The next special issue of the Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice (JPAAP) will be published in December 2018. The focus of this issue is ‘Compassionate Pedagogy’ and the guest editor for this special issue is Dr Kathryn Waddington, Westminster University.

We welcome proposals on any aspect of the student experience in relation to the recognition of the crucial role of compassion as a core concern in education, health and social care, and globally to ensure the future sustainability of humankind and the planet (e.g. Ballatt & Campling, 2011; Coles, 2015; Gibbs, 2017; Gilbert, 2017; McCloskey, 2014; Worline & Dutton, 2017). The recent Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) reports increasing numbers of students suffering with mental health problems (Thorley, 2017). Elsewhere, Waddington (2016) has argued that the compassion gap found, for example in the NHS, is mirrored by a compassion gap in universities. A discussion addressing compassionate academic practices and pedagogy is therefore timely.

Proposals can be for original research, reflective analyses, case studies, 'on the horizon' pieces, opinion pieces and book reviews. Full guidance on article formats is available from https://jpaap.napier.ac.uk/index.php/JPAAP/about/submissions
