"I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform. All reforms which rest simply upon the law, or the threatening of certain penalties, or upon changes in mechanical or outward arrangements, are transitory and futile.... But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move.... Education thus conceived marks the most perfect and intimate union of science and art conceivable in human experience."
--John Dewey, My Pedagogic Creed, 1897

Call for Manuscripts

Education and Culture , published twice yearly by Purdue University Press, takes an integrated view of philosophical, historical, and sociological issues in education.   Submissions of Dewey scholarship, as well as work inspired by Dewey's many interests, are welcome.  JDS members receive the journal as part of their membership in the society.

The journal publishes critical essays, research studies, essay and book reviews, and "rejoinder" essays.  Recommended lengths vary for critical essays, research studies, or essay reviews (7500 words); book reviews (1000-2000 words); and commentaries or rejoinders to published pieces (800 words). 

Manuscripts should be sent via the web site, and should conform to APA or Chicago style.  Please include complete contact information separate from the manuscript. There should be no author identifiers in the manuscript file, as the review process is anonymous.  Most editorial decisions will be rendered within 4 months.  Prospective authors are encouraged to contact the editor by e-mail with any questions.

Insights

Insights--the newsletter of the John Dewey Society--will become
an online newsletter in the summer of 2006.

Selected back issues are already available on this web site.

Call for manuscripts:

The Editor welcomes submissions at any time!

All submissions must be made electronically. If possible, do not overly format the submission and follow, wherever possible, APA style. Charts and other kinds of inserts must be sent as a separate attachment with their place clearly noted in the body of the submission.

Due to cost as well as technical factors, Insights will only accept very special photographs for inclusion.

Established in 1964, by then JDS President William Van Til, Insights was to be a vehicle through which the members and friends of the John Dewey Society could engage in the prompt and informal exchange of ideas. While much has altered in the intervening years, Insights strives to be an informal and informative publication with a contemporary flair.

In keeping with the traditions of Insights as well as honouring the directives of the Board of the John Dewey Society, a wide range of genres, interviews, narrative explorations, think-pieces, poetry, point and counter-point, research investigations along with thoughtful musings are all acceptable; as are book reviews, works-in-progress and position papers.

Members and friends of the John Dewey Society are encouraged to actively support Insights and a very tangible way to do this is via submissions.

Submissions and inquiries can be directed to the Editor, Jon Bradley, at jon.bradley@mcgill.ca.
