Catholic Education:
A Journal of Inquiry and Practice
About the Journal
The Journal of Catholic Education features research from a variety of disciplines on the nature of Catholic education, its past history, present situation and future promise. The Journal also provides a review of relevant current research, and a forum for exchange by scholars and practitioners on matters of substance facing those engaged in Catholic education. Sponsored by four Catholic universities and guided by a nationally recognized advisory board, the Journal seeks to make clearer, deeper, richer and more accessible the many dimensions of the centuries old practice of education in the Catholic tradition.
