David Hicks is Professor in the School of Education at Bath Spa University College. He has published widely in the fields of geographical education, citizenship education, futures education and global education.
'This is a book that is heart-warming, not in a sentimental way,
but in its sense of genuine engagement with the reader on the
praxis of being future's educators. In Lessons for the Future Hicks
brings a collection of his research essays together within the
context of his own 'journey' towards an integrated vision of
futures oriented action within schools and the institutions of
higher learning. That he offers this personal subtext brings his
thoughts and research into sharper relief. This is a story of
personal and social reflections and action.' - - Marcus Bussey,
Futures
'A new publication by David Hicks is always welcome. For more than
two decades, Hicks has consistently produced eminently readable
accounts of research, and teaching resources grounded in research
and practical wisdom ... These qualities are as evident in Lessons
for the Future as they are in his previous publications.' - Noel
Gough, Australian Journal of Environmental Education
'Admirable and carefully researched academic study of "the missing
dimension in education" ... By introducing the personal into his
writing this becomes a moving and compelling search "to make the
world a better place", from his earliest days working as a
geography teacher, to those as a university professor.' - John
Abbott, Cambridge Journal of Education
