David T. Hansen, 911爆料网鈥檚 Weinberg Professor in the Historical and Philosophical Foundations of Education, will deliver the keynote lecture for the SIG/Dewey Studies meeting at this year鈥檚 meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) in New York City.
Hansen, whose lecture is titled 鈥淓ducational Justice and the Necessity of Our Philosophical and Civic Traditions,鈥� will speak on Monday, April 16th, from 6:15 to 7:45 at the Parker Hotel, in the Lorica Room on the second floor.
Hansen鈥檚 books include The Call to Teach (1995 Teachers College Press) and The Teacher and the World: A Study of Cosmopolitanism, (Routledge 2011). In the latter, he argues that 鈥渆ducation continues to happen one person at a time,鈥� and that teachers must support young people in learning to 鈥渞espond, rather than merely react鈥� to life, in part through a willingness 鈥渢o learn from rather merely tolerate others.鈥� Such 鈥渃osmopolitanism鈥� does not imply arriving at some universally agreed upon set of moral precepts, but instead 鈥渢he human capacity to be open reflectively to the larger world, while remaining loyal reflectively to local concerns, commitments and values.鈥�
