Director: Joe Jenkins BA. MPhil
Joe has taught Religious Studies and Philosophy & Ethics for over 30 years and is the author of a number of popular textbooks. He has lectured internationally, currently teaches at a Sixth Form College and is a GCE Examiner in The Philosophy of Religion. Joe’s film-making career started in the 1990’s with the bringing together of images, music and the spoken word in his ‘Beat the Border’ Education Project introducing musicians from around the world into schools. The success of this project demonstrated the power of film to command attention and generate debate in the classroom. Ethics Online therefore benefits from over 30 years of working directly with young people alongside the production of high quality, cutting edge and dynamic teaching resources.
