Educating for Democracy in Australian Schooling: Towards a Secular Global Age Through an Inquiry Into the Religious Educating for democracy in Australian schooling: towards a secular global age through an inquiry into the religious By Audrey Challis Statham B.A.(Hons) (Durham University), B.A.(Hons) (Oxford University) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ii University of Divinity nd 2 January 2014 Abstract This thesis examines how the Australian Values Framework does not appear to be actualising UNESCO’s call to promote a particular notion of democracy which they consider as necessary in order to pursue world peace. Specific consideration is given to religious groups which do not appear to be included as legitimate participants of values formation in the Australian context through the Australian Values Framework. The major approach of this research is theoretical. The main theorists that this inquiry engages with are philosopher and educator, John Dewey, and theologian, Stanley Hauerwas, because these are argued to be highly relevant for evaluating different interpretations of democracy in light of the concerns of a religious perspective. The separate chapters of this thesis address distinct dimensions of the Australian context in order to find out how they might be understood in such a way as to be valuable for engaging with UNESCO’s aspiration to realise world peace through a particular conception of democracy. This particular understanding of democracy is one that is inclusive of all groups globally – including those who are religious. Chapter One examines the concept of the secular. Chapter Two examines aims of mass schooling in a secular context. Chapter Three explores different understandings of democracy. Chapter Four undertakes an analysis of the Australian Values Framework. Chapter Five examines a religious response to the Australian Values Framework. Chapter Six iii explores an understanding of democracy as a personal way of life at the heart of which is an understanding of values as an activity of valuation. This study finds that there is an intrinsic relation between inclusive democracy, secularism and education and that all three of these together necessarily promote participation in political life for all groups, including the religious and the non-religious together, in order that UNESCO’s aspiration for world peace might become actualised. iv Declaration I hereby declare that this PhD thesis entitled "Educating for democracy in Australian schooling: towards a secular global age through an inquiry into the religious" is my own work and where reference is made to the work of others, due acknowledgment is given. It contains no material that has been submitted previously, in whole or in part, for the award of any other degree or diploma, to any university or institution. Signed ………………………………………… Audrey Statham 2nd January 2014 v Acknowledgements This thesis is the product of countless conversations with many people over many years and I am grateful to more than just the few individuals that I thank here. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my principal supervisor, Dr. R. Scott Webster of Deakin University. My conversations with Scott have been a rich resource that I have drawn on in writing this thesis. I could not have brought it to completion without his vision, guidance and confidence in my work. I wish to thank Professor Maryanne Confoy SCR of the Jesuit Theological College, who took on the role of associate supervisor and Revd. Dr. Timothy Gaden, principal supervisor for my MTheol. It was Tim who first drew my attention to the National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools and who guided me through my upgrade panel and the initial stages of my doctorate. I am grateful to the University of Divinity for granting my several requests for extensions and to the Australian Research Theology Foundation for awarding me two research grants. I also owe a debt of thanks to my late Great Aunts, Marjorie and Cecily Statham, who had an abiding interest in education, and in the education of women in particular. Finally, it has been my good fortune to have been participating – long before I could talk – in an ongoing dialogue with two people who taught me to speak three languages, Tongan, English and ‘Christian’. It would be an understatement to say that this thesis vi would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of my parents, Nigel and Melenaite Statham, whose wholehearted commitment to, and wonder at being in a world that did not have to be, has been a continual source of inspiration to me. The people whom I have thanked gave me rich materials to work with but the responsibility for any shortcomings in this thesis is mine alone. vii Table of Contents Abstract

  • Worldly Words and Sacred Ideas: the Shifting Meaning and Usage of “Secular,” 400-1600
    Worldly Words and Sacred Ideas: The Shifting Meaning and Usage of “Secular,” 400-1600 by Natasha Wismark A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Natasha Wismark, May 2018 ABSTRACT WORLDLY WORDS AND SACRED IDEAS: THE SHIFTING MEANING AND USAGE OF “SECULAR,” 400-1600 Natasha Wismark Advisor: University of Guelph, 2018 Professor P. A. Goddard This thesis offers a close examination of the word “secular” from the fifth century to the seventeenth century and examines its origins and the change in its usage over the course of the medieval and early modern periods, primarily in England. Existing scholarship on the idea of the secular has ignored the meaning of the word and how its usage adapted to social and political change. I argue that “secular” is not a static concept nor does it simply signify a society stripped of religion, but rather, the term occupies a complex neutral space that shifts within changing and evolving demarcations between sacred and temporal circumstances. Furthermore, I argue that the secular has had a long-standing place in Christain thought, though its role changed to meet the historical needs of Christain societies. In addition to undertaking a close reading of primary sources and foundational thinkers, I utilized text analysis software throughout my research in order to establish statistical data that tracks the changes in usage of the term from 1473-1603. Dedication For my family, old and new. iii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my advisor, Professor Peter Goddard in the Department of History at the University of Guelph.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara ! ! The Speculum of Divine Justice and Obedience in Christian and Islamic Mirrors for Princes ! ! A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies ! by ! Maria del Rosario Jazmín Puignau ! ! Committee in charge: Professor Juan Campo, Chair Professor Stefania Tutino Professor Kathleen Moore ! ! December 2014 The dissertation of Maria del Rosario! Jazmín Puignau is approved. ! ! ! ! ! ____________________________________________________________ Juan Campo, Committee Chair ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ____________________________________________________________ Kathleen Moore ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ____________________________________________________________ Stefania Tutino ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! September 2014 Acknowledgments This study on the theological anxiety of political principles reflects my personal anxiety regarding the legitimate origin of authority and its commitment with justice. Although my original intention was to show the rebellious stream in the traditional views of Christianity and Islam, I finally negotiated into a more moderate approach to both traditions showing the struggle between the competing political and theological principles of justice and obedience. Although all this discussion on justice and the questioning of authority may sound rebellious, this dissertation took shape and was finished while building a more traditional project: my !beautiful family. I want to thank my committee, and especially to acknowledge the role of my mentor and advisor, Professor Juan Campo, who trusted and encouraged my self motivation and my capacity to overcome difficulties. His calm but acute synthesis of Christianity and Islam has always been inspiring. I would also like to thank Professor Kathleen Moore. I have had the pleasure to learn from her analysis of the traditions of Islamic law in modern political systems, as well as from her work in the interfaith dialogue Initiative.

ATINER is an independent Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER‟s downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens“…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing”. (“Pericles‟ Funeral Oration”, in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER‟s mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people‟s opinions and beliefs.
