| description |
Jack Whitehead is the originator of Living Educational
Theory Research and Jacqueline Delong’s doctoral
supervisor. Since Delong completed her doctorate in 2002
they have been research colleagues. In this book we are
given the opportunity to learn about Whitehead’s seminal
work through the lens of Delong’s ‘cultures of inquiry’. A
culture of inquiry is a non-hierarchical, democratic space
that encourages everyone to voice their thoughts (Delong,
2002).
The book is divided into four sections, where the ideas
become more complex and are explored to give
explanation in greater detail in each section. Parts One
and Two are aimed toward beginner researchers and
those doing research for a Master’s degree, while Part
Three focuses on doctoral studies. Part Four outlines how
the authors themselves are engaging with their
educational responsibility as global citizens. The book
indicates that the reader might learn how to conduct
Living Educational Theory Research through leafing
through this book. However, this is not just a ‘how to’
book. It is an in-depth study on how Living Educational
Theory Research can become a transformative movement
contributing to the flourishing of humanity. As one reads
through the book, it is clear that Delong and Whitehead
are not simply showing the reader how to conduct
research – they show that they live the underpinning
principles of Living Educational Theory Research in their
own lives and encourage readers to do likewise. |
