Enhancing Ethics and Integrity in the Changing World.
This special issue of the Journal of Academic Ethics (JAET) is largely focused on major events and developments affecting education and research occurring between November 2019 and December 2023. This was a particularly turbulent period for the whole world. Looking positively, it was a very exciting time to be in education because everything was being turned upside down and inside out by changes to society, technology and ways of conceptualising learning, teaching, and scientific research. The world feels like a much smaller place than it used to be because technological advances facilitate connections between people wherever they are around the globe. This has been further enhanced by imperative adaptations imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic, which continues to be true when conducting international collaborative research and sharing new ideas between individuals, institutions and nations
Progressive Social Change Perspectives and Therapy: Mapping the Interfaces Part 1:From Progressive Social Change Perspectives to Therapy
The pluralistic approach to therapy is grounded in principles of progressive social change. This paper is the first part of a review that maps the interfaces between progressive social change perspectives and therapy; with this, Part 1, introducing the review and focusing on the contribution of the former on the latter. Building on previous maps by Totton and Sanders, the aim is to help create a comprehensive, integrated framework for understanding these interfaces that can stimulate further writing, research, and practice. A systematic search of two key journals and related literature was conducted, resulting in the construction of seven main domains, some of which were further divided into sub-domains. Domains and sub-domains are: the existence of Therapy-as-a-Whole, Therapeutic Practice (subdomains: Understanding Clients and Formulation, Therapists’ Self-Understandings, The Therapeutic Relationship, Methods and Techniques, Therapeutic Interventions), Supervision, Training (subdomains: Curricula, Process, Access), Research (subdomains: Topics, Methodology), Access to Therapy, and The Therapy Profession. Literature and practices in each of these areas is described and illustrated. This paper also considers key traditions of progressive social change thought and action in the therapy field and discusses the challenges of mapping out these interfaces. By bringing together a wide range of literature and traditions, this paper supports pluralistic therapists, and others with a progressive social change perspective, to reflect on, and develop, the social justice elements of their thought and practice. Part 2 of this review, to be published, will look at the contribution of therapy to progressive social change perspectives, and integrated psych-political approaches
Rights of Nature on the Island of Ireland: Origins, Drivers, and Implications for Future Rights of Nature Movements
Over the course of 2021, several local councils across the island of Ireland introduced motions recognizing the ‘Rights of Nature’. To date, little research has been conducted into these nascent Rights of Nature movements, even though they raise important questions about the philosophical, cultural, political, and legal drivers in pursuing such rights. Similarly, much remains unclear as to the implications of such initiatives, both in their domestic context and for Rights of Nature movements around the world. This article contributes to addressing this gap by exploring these themes through an analysis of interviews with key stakeholders conducted across the island of Ireland in June 2022. In particular, it explores the impact of international movements, colonial legacies, cultural heritage, and years of inadequate environmental governance, in motivating local councils to pursue a Rights of Nature strategy
