Abstract
Many frown upon the use of the words gratitude and education together. It seems like a strange combination. We might perhaps be able to contemplate the place of gratitude in aspirations for wisdom or transformation, but to picture how it relates to learning for information or understanding content may require a greater leap than many are willing to make. Gratitude could be seen to be more relevant to lists of values or mission statements rather than as a thread that can run through our curricula.
