Tony Booth (Centre for Commonwealth Education, University of Cambridge)
Tony Booth is concerned with understanding and promoting values led educational development. Among the sixteen values headings that are the points in an interconnecting universe of meanings offered for dialogue as a possible framework for development are: beauty, joy, respect for diversity and wisdom. The framework contributes to an answer to a modification of an age old philosophical question: how should we live together? (The old question was something like 'how should an Athenian man live'?) He has offered a redesigned curriculum for the 21st Century which tries to answer a complementary question: What do we need to know in order to live together well? More ...

Morwenna Griffiths (University of Edinburgh)
Morwenna Griffiths is the Chair of Classroom Learning in the Moray House School of Education at Edinburgh University. She has taught in primary schools in Bristol, and at the University of Isfahan, Iran, at Christ Church College HE in Canterbury, and at Oxford Brookes, Nottingham and Nottingham Trent Universities. Her recent research has included philosophical theorising and empirical investigation, related to social justice, the nature of practice, pedagogy, the feminisation of teaching and creativity. Her books include Action for Social Justice in Education: Fairly Different; Educational Research for Social Justice, and Feminisms and the Self; the Web of Identity. She takes the view that social justice is best understood as dynamic and further, that any specific formulation is always revisable. Her current research is focused on two main philosophical and practical projects. The first project is the development of an understanding of pedagogical relations viewed as embodied, context-dependent and temporal. She is currently investigating creative and imaginative approaches to critical professional development. The second project focuses on extending social justice concerns beyond human relationships: on how to be and to act justly in a world which is constituted of relationships with our natural world that includes but also exceeds human beings.
