Transformative Dialogues (TD) is a forum for conversations intended to foster the improvement of teaching and learning in post-secondary education. TD facilitates the multi-disciplinary intellectual debate and inquiry, exchange of ideas, actions, and results of innovative and professional practice in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. These conversations are intended to span a wide range of reflections on the processes of teaching and learning ranging from the scholarly to scholarship. The international dialogues are focused on improving faculty and, therefore, student learning, and critical thought processes in their current and future lifelong learning. The editorial board recognizes that scholarship may play out differently in different disciplines, but, as Ernest Boyer pointed out in Scholarship Reconsidered (1992), the basic principles should be consistent.
The journal promotes the principle that strategies, techniques and methods of teaching and learning transcend the boundaries of specific subject fields. TD welcomes relevant contributions from diverse settings such as academia, vocational training, continuing professional development, workplace learning, selected commercial exemplars, and social networking via interactive technologies.

Transformative Dialogues began in 2007 as an initiative arising out of the Carnegie Foundation’s Carnegie Academy on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) Leadership Project (2006-2009). Kwantlen was a member within the Building Scholarly Communities cluster of this initiative along with Queen’s University, Ryerson University, Southeast Missouri State University, University of Glasgow, and The Ohio State University (coordinating institution). This journal has continued as part of the scholarly contributions of Dr. Balbir Gurm, Dr. Alice Macpherson, and everyone who has participated as an author or reviewer to promote increasing awareness and understanding of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
