Abstract | This paper is a representation of my developing livingeducational-
theory as I examine the educational influence of
my engagement with the Educational Journal of Living Theories
(EJOLTs). Drawing on my values around social justice, I
investigate the concept of EJOLTs as a medium for
communicating the principles and practice of Living Educational
Theory research. Throughout this paper, I will show how my
values transform into explanatory principles by which I show
that I am working towards, but not always succeeding at,
enhancing my practice and developing a better understanding
of it. As part of this process, I examine if EJOLTs is an
environment that enhances learning and stimulates people,
including myself, to be active agents in our own learning. The
paper begins with an outline of some of the features that make
EJOLTs a unique journal. This outline is followed by a critical
exploration of my emergent living-educational-theory in terms
of my role (1) as a reader of EJOLTs, (2) as a contributor to it,
(3) as a reviewer of the journal and (4) as a member of the
Editorial Board.
