Catholic Education: A Journal of Inquiry & Practice
Catholic Education: A Journal of Inquiry and Practice is the only refereed research journal in the United States devoted to Catholic education. Founded by Fordham University, Saint Louis University, the University of Dayton, and the University of San Francisco with a grant from the Lilly Foundation, the journal is now supported by 19 Catholic universities and is currently housed within the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) Program at the University of Notre Dame.
Purposes
- To support Catholic education and its contributions to the culture.
- To contribute to the creation of a new vision of Catholic education by: exploring important issues that challenge the field; drawing upon the philosophical and theological traditions of Catholic education, as well as an interdisciplinary perspective, in analyzing these issues; examining selected research studies that relate to the purposes and practices of Catholic education.
- To nourish the ministerial role of educators by exploring the relationship between Christian faith and professional practice.
- To challenge Catholic educators to rethink from an inquiry orientation their positions on the major questions confronting their institutions and their unique traditions.
