Dissent in Moral Education
The first is the question of dissent as a
concept within moral education, democratic education,
and institutional education generally. How might
dissent it be promoted in the service of the common
good and how does this concept figure in schooling? I
am also working on exploring philosophical conceptions
of the family in education under this topic.

Promises and Problems of Religion in
Education
On the subject of religion in education, with
my colleagues Avi Mintz (University of Tulsa) and
Nadeem Memon (Al Akhawayn University, Morocco) I am
currently co-editing a book entitled
The Promises and Problems of Jewish, Catholic, and
Islamic Education in Canada. It explores
three different questions that are of public interest
within religious education. They concern (1) the
aims of education in each tradition, (2) how the
religious expectations in these schools intersect with
the expectations of secular liberal society, and (3)
how teachers are theorized to respond to diversity
within their religious traditions.
