    Can the Meaning of American "Exceptionalism" Be Transformed? An Inquiry into the Future of the Nation's Political Imagination.Kerry Burch - 2024 - Education and Culture 39 (2):25-46.
    The paper argues that the racist underpinnings of the dominant narrative of American exceptionalism require radical exposure as a first step in turning around this discourse to serve democratic ends. As a key pedagogical element in this vision of renewal, insights from ignorance studies are employed to illustrate how teachers might integrate difficult knowledges of genocide, slavery, and imperial conquest into their respective encounters with the nation's hotly contested yet often forgotten historical legacies. Activating the nation's democratic potential requires the (...)

    Analyzing Teacher-Student Relationships in the Works of John Dewey.Julia T. Novakowski - 2024 - Education and Culture 39 (2):47-75.
    John Dewey wrote widely about education and educational philosophy and it follows that there is a plethora of secondary source material addressing those large topics. Dewey spoke about the roles of the teacher (educator) and student (pupil/child) and their general relationship, yet there is a gap in scholarship addressing exactly what the nature of that relationship was (formal, familial, etc) and what it entailed. This paper addresses an important issue in Dewey scholarship: Dewey's conception of the teacher-student relationship. The guiding (...)

    John Dewey on Art, Aesthetic Education, and the Democratic Community: The Lab School Works of 1896–1900.Leonard J. Waks - 2024 - Education and Culture 39 (2):4-24.
    Important works in the Dewey corpus — particularly those discussing the theory and practice of art and aesthetic education, prepared from 1896 through 1900 while Dewey was working out the plan for the University's Laboratory School—remain virtually unstudied. When interpreting or building upon Dewey's theory of art and art education, scholars have relied on major works including _Democracy and Education, Experience and Nature_, and _Art as Experience_. The purpose of this paper is to revisit the Lab School works and reinterpret (...)

    Education for Moral Judgment: Situational Creativity and Dewey's Aesthetics.Davin Carr-Chellman - 2024 - Education and Culture 39 (1):35-59.
    This paper argues that moral judgment is suffering at the hands of instrumental rationality and identity thinking, concepts from the tradition of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory that help explain degradations in human relations. These concepts are not new, but they are realized in novel ways, and the implications continue to be significant, contributing to human suffering and prominent anti-intellectual sentiment. Working through the shared intellectual ground of Adorno, Edmundson, Stivers, and Ellul, the paper takes a critical look at (...)

    Teaching Mathematics with Democracy in Mind.Marshall Gordon - 2024 - Education and Culture 39 (1):60-83.
    With democracy in mind, promoting students’ cognitive, personal, and social development can inform and shape the mathematics curriculum and classroom practice with the goal of their becoming more capable, self-reflective, and socially aware human beings. Toward that realization, their mathematics experience could include: heuristics, as it provides a natural language for problem solving; habits of mind, so students can think and act with a more developed “reflective intelligence”; and multiple-centers investigations, where collaborations based on shared mathematical interest can be pursued. (...)

    The Role of Education in The Public and Its Problems: A Deweyan Perspective on Political Literacy.Charles L. Lowery - 2024 - Education and Culture 39 (1):3-34.
    The assault on democratic values is not new—nor is the effort to promote the critical literacy skills necessary to understand the cultural, economic, moral, and social issues that underline these social concerns. Unfortunately, in modern society we have conflated an associated way of living with government, and government with politics, and politics with partisanship. Noticeably, this confusion has concealed our willingness or perhaps even our ability to envision the meaning of community. In this essay, I adopt a Deweyan perspective to (...)

    Has Anybody Here Seen My Old Friend John? Making the Case for a More Pragmatic Social Studies.Dave Powell - 2024 - Education and Culture 39 (1):84-103.
    Although inquiry-based instruction has been a centerpiece of progressive visions of social studies education almost since its inception as a school subject a century ago, teachers often struggle to conceptualize it in ways that make true inquiry possible for their students. In this essay I suggest that social educators strengthen their connection with John Dewey’s pragmatic epistemology as the foundation of inquiry-based teaching in social studies, arguing in support of an approach that holds the promise of advancing goals associated with (...)
