Anniversaries are an occasion for celebration and reflection: celebration for the fact of longevity and persistence, sometimes in the face of difficulty; reflection as an opportunity to turn the looking-back of self-congratulation into an occasion for learning from the past as a basis for guiding new choices in the future. I am fortunate to be the Editor of Educational Theory during its fiftieth anniversary, because it has given me the chance to learn from the perspectives of the authors who have agreed to contribute to this Symposium, each reviewing a decade’s worth of published issues of the journal.
