This book investigates the education and assessment of student midwives in clinical practice, paying particular attention to how their practice is graded. Chenery-Morris brings primary research, which explores students, mentors, and midwifery lecturers perspectives of practice learning and its assessment, together with the international literature on clinical knowledge, teaching and learning in practice and assessment of students drawn from a range of healthcare and education professions. Discussing how practice is graded, what constitutes valid practice knowledge, learning in clinical practice, evaluating practice learning and failing students, this book uses Basil Bernstein’s theories to throw light on how we assess and whether we should assess performance in addition to whether a student is competent to practise. This is an important contribution to the field of midwifery education. It will also be relevant to those with an interest in practice education from a range of healthcare professions.

By introducing the contemporary context of midwifery practice, this book helps students to understand the problems many women face in society.

Focusing on the astronomer Johannes Kepler's 1604 treatise on optics, explores Kepler's radical break from scientific and epistemological traditions and shows how he posited new ways to view scientific truth and knowledge in the early modern period.

In this unfiltered collection of essays, Morris fearlessly confronts the complexities of personal history with raw honesty. With each page, he unveils profound and witty revelations, navigating through the emotional landscapes of estrangement, elite performing arts education, Berlin hedonism, and the rollercoaster of love and lovelessness. Morris paints a vivid portrait exhuming the past, revisiting violences endured, often through a darkly comic lens, in this compelling exploration of the human experience.
