A Conversation about Christian Schooling

David Hastie BA (Hons), PhD is Deputy Vice President, Development of Alphacrucis University College, and Executive Director of the state funded National Embedded Cross-Sector Teacher Education Pilot (NECSTEP). He has published widely in academic and mass media, including detailed examinations of the role of religion in the 19th Century Public Instruction Acts, and the role of religion in historical and contemporary Australian education more generally. David previously served as Education Strategist for The Anglican Schools Corporation, and prior to that as an educator in four Independent schools since 1997.

David will be interviewed by Dr Paul Oslington, Director of the St James Institute.
