ANALYTIC TEACHING AND PHILOSOPHICAL PRAXIS      Volume 36  (2015-16) 

 

Editor’s Notes 
 

Volume 36 owes its genesis to the 2015 ICPIC 
conference held at the University of British Columbia. 
With the exception of the article by Pournantzi, 
Zacharos and Shiakalli, all of the articles published here 
stem from work discussed and presented on at the 
Vancouver conference.  Consequently, a very special 
thanks goes out to all those who had a hand organizing 
the ICPIC conference, especially Susan Gardner.  I 
think the articles in this issue give a good sense of the 
range and caliber of the work presented there.   
 

Thematically, the eight articles fall into three broad 
categories.  The articles by Strong, Love, Wang, Green 
and Pornantzi et. al., are studies on the effectiveness of 
Philosophy For Children in different environments, 
both within and beyond the K-12 classroom.  The 
contributions by Henry and Robinson explore different 
concepts and hurdles encountered while running 
communities of inquiry, while Mizell analyzes the 
conceptual sophistication of children’s imaginative 
play.  
 

Together, the eight articles assembled here speak to 
both the on-going effectiveness of PFC in a variety of 
geographical and educational contexts (Greece, 
Taiwan, South Africa, America, Canada, England) and 
the impressive range of pedagogical resources that 
communal inquiry brings to the table –a range that 
extends well beyond K-12 schooling. 

 
     I hope the current volume finds you all doing well 
and engaged in a project you love…
