The Field Centre Journal of Research and Practice

 The Field Centre Journal of Research and Practice presents research carried out within and around the Field Centre, and more broadly, work which shares our research themes. These are:

  • Action research which is integral to the various dimensions of Ruskin Mill Trust’s method of Practical Skills Therapeutic Education (PSTE), particularly research connected to our staff practice of craft, biodynamic agriculture and therapeutic pedagogy.

  • Research on any topic within the Goethean science paradigm.

  • Research on Rudolf Steiner’s life, work and legacy.

  • Research reports on work currently being carried out around the Trust.

  • Research specifically on the outcomes and impact of Ruskin Mill Trust’s PSTE method that uses mainstream research methods will usually be referred to existing scholarly journals in the appropriate academic disciplines.

In 2018, in recognition of the first five years of operation of the Field Centre, our original journal, In Isis, was redesigned and renamed as The Field Centre Journal of Research and Practice.
