65The Ethics of Internationalisation in Higher Education: Hospitality, self‐presence and ‘being late’Educational Philosophy and Theory 44 (3): 312-322. 2012.While the concept of internationalization plays a key role in contemporary discussions on the activities and outcomes sought by universities, it is commonly argued that it is poorly understood or realised in practice. This has led some to argue that more work is needed to define the dimensions of the concept, or even to plot out stages of its achievement. This paper aims not to provide a definition of internationalisation for those working in higher education. On the contrary, it seeks to open u…Read more

37The "ins" and "outs" of history: Revision as non-placeHistory and Theory 46 (4). 2007.Revision in history is conventionally characterized as a linear sequence of changes over time. Drawing together the contributions of those engaged in historiographical debates that are often associated with the term "revision," however, we find our attention directed to the spaces rather than the sequences of history. Contributions to historical debates are characterized by the marked use of spatial imagery and spatialized language. These used to suggest both the demarcation of the "space of his…Read more

29Collingwood and the Early Paul Hirst on the Forms of Experience-Knowledge and EducationBritish Journal of Educational Studies 45 (2). 1997.Paul Hirst's 'forms of knowledge' thesis has been the subject of much discussion and debate in educational circles. Hirst's claim that such forms exist is not original but, as R. S. Peters claimed, his account is distinctive in its application to the school curriculum. This paper calls for a revision of Peters's claim on the grounds that R. G. Collingwood's writings on the forms of experience not only refer to the school curriculum, but also point up an explicitly educational agenda.

14State and civilization in Australian New Idealism, 1890-1950History of Political Thought 29 (1): 89-108. 2008.This paper explores the emergence and evolution of philosophical Australian New Idealism through an analysis of the writings of Francis Anderson (1858-1941), Mungo MacCallum (1854-1942), E.H. Burgmann (1885-1965) and G.V. Portus (1883-1954). Where their British Idealist contemporaries during and after the First World War were criticized for their putative 'Germanic' and authoritarian conception of the state, the writings of these Australian Idealists were centrally shaped by a concern with the c…Read more

13Metaphysics as History, History as MetaphysicsPhilosophical Topics 43 (1-2): 279-284. 2015.R. G. Collingwood’s writings do not sit neatly within any of the major approaches to metaphysics. Moore’s Evolution of Modern Metaphysics corrects the conventional exclusion of Collingwood’s thought, only to position him as contributing an ‘interlude’. I argue that this treatment does little to bring the far-reaching implications—and problems—of Collingwood’s reversible treatment of history as metaphysics and metaphysics as history to the fore. In particular, I highlight Collingwood’s not having…Read more

4Big and little histories: sizing up ethics in historiographyTaylor & Francis. 2021.This book introduces students to ethics in historiography through an exploration of how historians in different times and places have explained how history ought to be written and how those views relate to different understandings of ethics. No two histories are the same. The book argues that this is a good thing because the differences between histories are largely a matter of ethics. Looking to histories made across the world and from ancient times until today, readers are introduced to a wide…Read more

3'How Good an Historian Shall I Be?': R.G. Collingwood, the Historical Imagination and EducationImprint Academic. 2003.R.G. Collingwood's name is familiar to historians and history educators around the world. Few, however, have charted the depths of his reflections on what it means to be educated in history. In this book Marnie Hughes-Warrington begins with the facet of Collingwood’s work best known to teachers — re-enactment — and locates it in historically-informed discussions on empathy, imagination and history education. Revealed are dynamic concepts of the a priori imagination and education that tend toward…Read more

Recontextualising R.G. Collingwood's `General Massacre of Schoolteachers' Family in New Idealist Philosophies of EducationCollingwood and British Idealism Studies 14 (1): 37-64. 2008.This paper examines Robin George Collingwood's decision to place primary responsibility for education in the hands of parents by considering contemporary philosophies of education and the historical context in which The New Leviathan appeared. It shows that while Collingwood's views were out of step with the `New' philosophies of education that are conventionally emphasised in histories of education, they are not entirely out of keeping with contemporary New Idealist thought, particularly in Aus…Read more
