G. Thomas Fox
on becoming edGe-ucated, how uncertainty can link the frontiers of expert inquiry to the education of all

In this special issue Fox tells stories from the range of his educational experience to show where educating and researching occasionally met edGe-ucating ‒ or why it did not. Following that, he describes how others, primarily non-educators, have achieved edGe-ucating in a range of its possible manifestations. The aim of his writing is to bring edGe-ucating into the discussions, practices, policies, and imaginations of educators, scientists and other expert inquirers, problem solvers, and general publics who may be interested in the possibilities of working together to make inquiry at the edges of knowledge an intellectual challenge for all humans on this earth to take on. He considers why we all may not only enjoy engaging with expert inquiry, but that it may be helpful for the future well-being of our societies, while continuing the development of expert understandings, along with our own.
