Conference Theme:
Democracy in Education: Academic Freedom
This year’s conference theme is suggested by our celebration of the
centennials of the AAUP (1915) and the publication of John Dewey's
magisterial Democracy and Education (1916). In recognition of these
anniversaries, our 2015 NEPES conference is focusing on ways in which
democratic education and academic freedom are impacting learning
especially in public schools and higher education today.
The Program Committee also invites proposals for additional sessions
on topics relevant to philosophy of education and philosophic
treatment of the problems of education. The committee especially
encourages submission of proposals across a wide range of philosophy,
history and social contexts of education and foundations of education
subject topics, including those by established authors and individuals
(including graduate students) who are new in the field or are in the
process of developing new work. The committee also wants to extend an
invitation to graduate students, community members, and educational
activists.is focusing on ways in which democratic education,
especially academic freedom are impacting learning especially in
public schools and higher education.
These proposals may be for traditional papers and panels, or
workshops, and posters
designed to foster or improve work in these fields.
