Welcome
JDS aims to foster intelligent inquiry into pressing social problems of our time, especially pertaining to the place and function of education in resolving such problems, as well as to share, discuss, and disseminate the results of such inquiries. JDS is also a space for building and sustaining the networks of students and scholars of the philosophy of John Dewey and American Pragmatism.
