Moral Learning

<p>As moral educators we are more used to teaching others and researching their learning and moral development than reflecting on and writing formally about our own moral learning. We are not just professionals with an interest and supposedly some expertise in morality and education we also have gendered and culturally differentiated personal and professional lives in which there are moral issues puzzles and conflicts. We are situated in diverse political and institutional contexts whilst participating in an interdisciplinary professional field and interacting in an increasingly globalised world. How do we integrate the personal professional and political in our moral learning? In this book celebrating the <i>Journal of Moral Education</i>’s 40th anniversary 15 invited contributors at different stages in their careers from a range of disciplinary and cultural backgrounds and from around the world offer their academic analytical and autobiographical reflections. Through their stories narratives analyses questions and concerns and across many diverse topics central to moral education we see how they each confront their own moral learning—personally professionally and politically. This book offers insights from formative experiences and ongoing issues and challenges to suggest how all educators might take more account of the interrelation of the personal professional and political in moral teaching and learning. </p><p>This book was originally published as a special issue of the <i>Journal of Moral Education.</i></p>
