The articles in this special section analyse pedagogical endeavours, broadly understood, at various sites and through diverse processes, mostly in Asia. The authors approach sites and processes of ethical learning as a point of departure to investigate the forms of pedagogies implemented, the kinds of subjectivities fashioned, and the shifts in relationality entailed. Their focus on individuals and ethical subjectivity sheds light on the relationships, traditions, and communities which socialise, inspire, and teach them, as well as the ethical currents of the broader economic and political contexts in which they take place. They examine religious diversity and dynamism, as well as the varied interactions between the religious and secular in contemporary Asia to generate new perspectives on ethical subjectivity and relationality.
