Review

"...Dewey in Our Time successfully demonstrates Dewey's ongoing legacy in educational practice, policy making, and curriculum development and illuminates the ongoing Dewey inspired research on historical and philosophical education. Teachers and educators will greatly benefit from this volume when undertaking the daunting task of pedagogical reconstruction in the face of changing realities. Researchers will gain deeper insight into the historical and philosophical underpinnings behind educational practice." (Reflective Teaching 2017-08-01)

"This energetic volume gathers an international group of scholars and practitioners to consider Dewey’s legacy for teaching and learning theoretically, historically, and transculturally. We see in detail how Dewey continues to influence thought, learning, social movements, and curricular practice across the globe. Permeated with a vibrant and prospective tone, this book focuses on a Dewey we can all reflect upon, reconstruct, and enact to build a pluralistic and global progressive education in this century." (A.G. Rud, Distinguished Professor, Washington State University, and president elect, John Dewey Society)
