What defines a frontier?
A frontier may be a physical border, an intellectual task to be resolved, or an unexplored expanse waiting to be explored. In Catholic practice, a frontier is “mission” which suggest pioneering work in new territories and new endeavors. In education this can include unexplored areas for understanding in teaching and learning. For Religious Education, it can be a “mission field” or a subject of interest that solicits understanding, analysis and reflection as it applies to students’ religious beliefs, dispositions and formation. These mission fields may include new technologies, arts and music, culture, human formation, values formation, justice and peace, dialogue, and ecology. Given that Catholic schools are collaborators in church mission, how do these fields affirm the mission of evangelization shared by the church with Religious Education? In view of this theme, we hope to invite discussions on any of the following areas of study:
Papers are invited to investigate about: (sub-themes)
- Designing content for children with learning disabilities

- Religious identity development
- The nexus of teaching, learning and faith catechesis, human/values formation, etc.

- Eco-feminism, ecology and Religious Education
- Faith and social media
In addition, relevant graduate thesis and dissertation is invited for presentation in parallel panels.
