Writing and Responsibility

In a world where literary scandals often end up in court, the issue of responsibility in writing has never been more important. In this groundbreaking study, Carl Tighe asks the questions every writer needs to consider:

• What is it that writers do? Are they responsible for all the uses to which their writing might be put? Or no more responsible than their readers?
• How are a writer's responsibilities compromised or defined by commercial or political pressures, or by notions of tradition or originality?
• How does a writer's audience affect their responsibilities? Are these the same for writers in all parts of the world, under all political and social systems?

Curriculum and Assessment

Curriculum and Assessment is the first volume of the a new series International Perspectives on Curriculum. This edited book examines the relationship between curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, and, as with subsequent volumes, adopts a cross-sector and comparative approach. Contributors make reference to a number of important debates in the fields of curriculum and assessment: summative versus formative assessment; differentiation versus inclusion; psychometric versus holistic theorising; decontextualised versus contextualised assessment; symbol-processing versus situated learning approaches; integrated versus connected assessment; and high stakes versus low stakes assessment.
