What role does ethics play in vocational education? The subject of ethics is now firmly established at universities that train for professional fields such as nursing, medicine, social work and the police. In view of this development, this volume initiates a scientific debate about the design of the subject. The contributions discuss the tasks, goals and content of ethics in vocational education and training, taking into account the challenges specific to the occupational field as well as the associated social, political and discursive fields of tension.
