John Dewey Lecture

"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
The John Dewey Lecture is given annually at the John Dewey Society annual meeting (held in conjunction with the American Educational Research Association) and again at Teachers College. The lecture includes the opportunity to publish a book with Teachers College Press.
