Reviews

“This is an excellent snapshot of the current state of UK universities and a praiseworthy addition to the existing literature on compassion and the university. It is a fascinating example of how compassion can be outlined using the university educator’s own areas of expertise, which may potentially encourage similar contributions in the future. Furthermore, Lawrence refrains from decontextualising … aspects of higher education that portray suffering in the sector, making it a bravely written monograph.” (Aysha Mazhar, British Journal of Educational Studies, September 10, 2021)
