Seven Stances on Emotion in Education

  • Chapter
Book cover How Higher Education Feels

Part of the book series: Imagination and Praxis ((IPCC))

Abstract

This chapter is intended to give you tools with which to label your assumptions and those of the speakers of the poems. It also makes various assumptions explicit, enabling us to frame (and re-frame) the situations presented in the case studies, opening up different possibilities for practice and policy. In this way, it offers a deeper, theoretical grounding for those who want a more scholarly foundation to their reading and discussions.
