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.
