Current Jubilee Centre Research Projects

The current research phase, Celebration Britain (2021-2023), builds upon and extends this previous research and seeks to answer the following primary research questions:

  • What evidence is there that a neo-Aristotelian approach to character education works and how can this evidence be best celebrated and disseminated?
  • Where do ‘gaps’ exist in the existing Centre evidence base and how can these gaps be addressed through building on and extending the Centre’s existing evidence?
  • Why is developing a focus on the civic virtues necessary in the extension of character cultivation from individual schools and professions to society at large?
  • What new challenges and opportunities for character education are brought about by online and digital media, and what role might the concept of ‘cyber-phronesis’ play with regard to these
