Erin's Child
A struggling Irish family in nineteenth century England sets its hopes on a new generation in the third volume of this dramatic historical saga. England, 1875. The Feeney family has finally escaped the squalid slums of York. Though they have worked hard to rise up from poverty, they have not left hardship behind.

After losing their son, the Feeneys’ hopes for the family’s future now lie with their grandchildren. There is Rosanne, set to follow a rebel lover down a star-crossed road, and Erin’s daughter Belle, gifted and headstrong but born with a disability. The family has faces many challenges before, but what happens next will test them all.

Higher Education, Pedagogy and Social Justice
This book explores how the concepts of social justice, diversity, equity and inclusion can be understood within the context of higher education. While terms such as these are often in common use in universities, they are not always used with clarity and precision. The editors and contributors offer a serious and detailed examination of pressing contemporary concerns around ‘social justice’ across politics, practice and pedagogy in order to encourage hard thinking and practical agenda setting for social-justice oriented research, teaching and community engagement. Drawing upon new theoretical work, research projects and innovative university teaching, this book offers both useful theoretical insights and practical possibilities for action. This collective and collaborative volume will be of interest and value to all those interested in promoting social justice, in particular how it can be promoted within the university setting.
