Research Plans
My future research will consider the ethical and political issues that arise from education at the primary and secondary level. Specifically, I will consider the public school context, and the practice of teaching students to think critically about their moral and religious beliefs. Do such practices violate the religious freedoms of parents? How does teaching critical thinking relate to teaching tolerance for others and for their views? Are such practices compatible with liberal neutrality? Pursuing this inquiry raises questions about the implications of liberal political theory, but also about the responsibilities of individual teachers.
