      The book critically examines the concept of care within higher education, utilizing Joan Tronto's framework to evaluate perceptions of universities as caring institutions. It highlights how systemic and structural issues contribute to a lack of support for students and staff, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. By integrating insights from sociology, social justice, and feminist critique, the authors challenge the notion of care as radical and propose strategies to foster a more caring environment in universities, emphasizing the importance of purpose and plurality in care practices.

    • Craft Roach is an exuberant story about an artsy little bug who lives life a little differently. Written by Rachel Burke (@imakestagram) and with art from best-selling illustrator Daniel Gray-Barnett, Craft Roach is a fun, rhyming picture book about standing out, fitting in and having the courage to be your most joyful self. Craft Roach makes the other bugs feel very tense and stressed. Standing out? Being seen? They do not think it best. But Craft Roach sees things differently, has more than just an inkling - that crawlies wouldn't be so feared, if all of them were twinkling ... Craft Roach is a story that will change your mind about cockroaches, and will delight and encourage young readers to be bold and never dim their light.
