#PESAPhilosophy #EducationInquiry #PhilosophyInPractice
A research project flyer from the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA) titled "What is going on in Philosophy of Education in Teacher Education? A review of philosophy of education taught in Higher Education programs in Australia." The flyer invites applications for Co-Researcher/Research Associate (Post-Doctoral) positions. The purpose of the project is outlined, emphasizing the identification of philosophy of education offerings in higher education, mapping teaching practices, and informing future research. The approach involves a comparative review over 12 months, including a desktop review, surveys, and expert interviews. The flyer also details the criteria for recognizing experts in the field, listing categories such as professors, academic experts, and PhD/postdoc students. The PESA logo is at the top, and the document has a watermark across it. A continuation of the PESA Research Pilot Project flyer detailing the project design, role description, and available positions. The text explains that the project will enable concurrent phases leading into expert reflections on philosophy of education teaching, perceptions of the field, and its reception in higher education. The role description outlines responsibilities for co-researchers, including refining the pilot project, obtaining ethics approvals, collaborating on research reports, developing project tools, summarizing findings, and contributing to publications. The flyer states that fractional contract positions for post-doctoral co-researchers are available for up to 18 months from August 2025 to February 2026, with flexible workload fractions. The positions are open to PESA members only. Contact information for further inquiries is provided, along with the PESA logo at the bottom. A watermark is visible across the document. A page from the PESA Research Project EOI (Expression of Interest) Application. The document contains a table labeled "Applicant Details," with fields for surname, forenames, title, PESA membership confirmation, current position, institution, full postal address, daytime telephone number, and email address. Below the table, a section outlines criteria for applicants, including the ability to work independently at a post-doctoral level, research skills relevant to the project, a track record of publications or grant applications, experience in philosophy of education teaching or research, familiarity with Australian higher education contexts, and submission of a full academic CV. The PESA logo appears at the top, and a watermark is visible across the page.

#RadicalResponsibility #PhilosophyInPractice #InnerFortress
A warm, parchment-toned graphic titled "DAY 4 – BUILD THE INNER FORTRESS" presents a Nietzsche quote in centered serif font: “Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves.” Below the quote, two prompts are displayed: “Identify one excuse you’ve been making—and face it,” followed by the reflective question, “What are you truly responsible for?” The overall design is clean and minimal, evoking a sense of timeless philosophical introspection.
