ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on ethics and student engagement practices in Higher Education. The chapter considers various ways of conceptualizing ethics, proposing 'practical wisdom' as an ethical means to 'act well' in student engagement practices, before exploring some ethical practices, problems and dilemmas in detail through three empirical case studies of student engagement in Higher Education. The first and second cases deal with ethics in research projects, while the third considers ethics within teaching and learning. The three cases provide useful insights into why ethics are a crucial aspect of student engagement, how ethics can be 'put to work' in student engagement practice, and what some of the ethical principles are which underpin those student engagement practices which researchers, practitioners and co-authors has been involved in. The chapter ends by promoting the advantages to be gained from adopting a bricolage approach to ethics in student engagement practices.
