What has been “missing” or “missed” over the last 50 years in APJTE?

ABSTRACT

The editors of APJTE invited a group of teacher education scholars to have a conversation about what is ‘missing’ from the journal and/ or the field. In line with our celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the journal, we thought that it would be interesting to think about what hasn't been in the journal but might have been. We worked with people who have been, or are becoming, influential in the field, and/ or have been editors of the journal before; to have a conversation about what's (been) missing from the journal and/ or perhaps from teacher education scholarship more generally; what's been excluded and why, and what that tells us about the current state of the field, and the future perhaps.
