This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of ethics and the scholarship of teaching and learning, with a particular focus on addressing ethical concerns and experiences that arise from engaging in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) work. Drawing upon a diverse range of research projects, theoretical frameworks, and narrative experiences, the book offers a multi-faceted perspective on how meaning is constructed within the context of research ethics in SoTL, academic community and REB partnerships, experiences of Students as Partners in SoTL, and ethically-minded approaches to teaching, learning, and inquiry.

In particular, this edited volume encompasses ethical practices that have evolved to meet the challenges of an ever-changing academic landscape, such as navigating pandemic pedagogy and data ownership in the era of increased online content. Contributions related to academic community partnerships between REBs and faculty provide realistic narratives and valuable lessons learned about how higher education can foster equity, diversity, and inclusivity. Decolonial ethics for teaching and learning in higher education, as well as participatory parity, underscore the importance of SoTL practitioners being responsive to the social and cultural realities of a global context, addressing social inequities and social responsibility.

Relational ethics, through student perspectives on vulnerability and classroom-based SoTL research, emphasize the need for students to be taught about their agency, empowering them to contribute their voices to SoTL work. Lastly, this book celebrates how ethically-minded approaches to teaching, learning, and inquiry uncover strategies and pedagogy that promote concepts such as ethical imagination, systems and design thinking practices.

By exploring these critical topics, this book serves as a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to enhance the ethical dimensions of teaching and learning in higher education. It provides a roadmap for promoting ethical practices, fostering inclusive environments, and advancing scholarship that values social justice and equity.
