A note from the incoming editors
Critical & Creative Thinking has without question been
central to the growth and integrity of Philosophy in the Classroom across
Australia and beyond during the last decade and a half. We are very grateful
to Clive Lindop, and in more recent times,Gilbert Burgh, Phil Cam and Stephan
Millett for their dedicated efforts with the journal, delivering a robust publication
and a smooth editorial transition. Our aim as editors is to build on
the work done so far by maintaining the current focus on theoretical contributions
to the theory and practice of philosophical inquiry in schools, as well as
continuing to foster dialogue about classroom-related issues. Importantly,
given the emerging work within Cognitive Psychology in the area of dialogue-based
approaches to the development of thinking, we also aim to encourage contributions
with an interdisciplinary focus. We look forward to a close association
with the broad Philosophy in Schools community.
