I was interviewed for this article by ABC 'Manifesting is popular but some experts say it has a dark side' #philsky #education #academicsky #philosophy

I attended the memorial symposium for Richard Pring last week at Oxford University's School of Education where he was head of department for years & his inclusivity, energy, support & sense of humour came through in all the tributes, along with his legacy towards #philosophy of #education #philsky
