The Pedagogies of Punishment project: Interview with Dr John Tillson & Dr Winston C. Thompson

Abstract

John Tillson (Liverpool Hope University) and Winston C. Thompson (The Ohio State University) are the Principal Researchers on the Pedagogies of Punishment project (funded by the Centre for Ethics and Education). As a PhD student exploring alternative approaches to behaviour management in schools, I was invited to participate in the project along with other researchers in this field, some early in their careers and others already established academics. This interview with John and Winston took place following the initial project symposium and offers a fascinating insight into the aims and background of the project.
