Membership

Our members seek to advance educational theory, policy, and practice. They promote and advance research and teaching in the philosophy of education. They support each other by providing supportive critiques of ideas and encouraging scholarship.

Membership is open to anyone with a professional interest in the philosophy of education. There is no residential requirement.

Our Society cares for its members. Membership is subsidised by income the Society generates through publications.
