The South Atlantic Philosophy of Education Society (SAPES) was founded more than a half century ago in order to promote the philosophic study of education, advance and improve teaching and scholarship in philosophy of education and cultivate relationships between educators and philosophers alike. Since 1955, it has expanded to include scholars from various disciplinary backgrounds who meet annually to discuss issues related to the philosophy of education and other foundational concerns. Included are philosophers, historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and others whose work illuminates the relationships between schools and wider societies.
