Abstract
Each of these papers explores the notions that frame the purposes of education. Such purposes are often taken-for-granted, which elides the tensions, contradictions and possibilities they help to frame. In these papers, notions such as responsibility, practicality, curiosity, and justice are considered in historical and contemporary context.
