Ohio Valley Philosophy of Education Society (OVPES) is one of the regional organizations of philosophers of education. We meet every year in the fall for a two day conference, and publish an annual peer-reviewed scholarly journal. OVPES is also a member of the Council of Social Foundations of Education (CSFE).
Clint Collins’ brief history of OVPES
OVPES endeavors to: promote the fundamental philosophic treatment of the problems of education; promote the clarification of agreements and differences among the several philosophies of education through the opportunities for discussion afforded by annual meetings; advance and improve teaching in the philosophy of education both in schools for the education of teachers and in other educational institutions; cultivate fruitful relationships between workers in general philosophy and workers in philosophy of education; cultivate fruitful relationships between scholars in philosophy of education and those in other areas of education; encourage promising students in the field of philosophy of education.
