Virtues in the Classroom - Opening Remarks
Tuesday Apr 20, 2021
Tuesday Apr 20, 2021
In June 2020, CIRL hosted a free online conference in collaboration with the University of Hertfordshire’s Forum for Virtue and Understanding, on ‘Virtues in the Classroom’. The conference explored ways in which we can model philosophical virtues in the classroom, such as charitability, logical reasoning, critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, rational judgement, and intellectual humility.
This conference put on talks and provided a forum for discussion of the theme of how teachers can model philosophical virtues, how such modelling might be skilfully done, and where the pedagogical risks lie. More broadly, the conference considered the theme of virtues in education.
Our speakers were Dr Peter Dennis, Head of Religion and Philosophy at Brighton College; Dr Laura D’Olimpio, Dr Brendan Larvor, Reader and Head of the Philosophy Department at the University of Hertfordshire; and Professor Angie Hobbs, Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield.
All the talks are available on our podcast.
