John Dewey Society Award for Outstanding Lifetime Achievement
The
Award for Outstanding Lifetime Achievement will be awarded to the
individual who, in the judgment of the committee, exemplifies, over a
lifetime of work, the Deweyan
tradition of connecting theory and practice. Each year, the award will
recognize: a scholar-practitioner who, in the Deweyan tradition,
connects the worlds of theory and practice in promoting the development
of democratic citizens; or an exceptional explicator
and interpreter of Dewey’s philosophy and educational theory. This award
is not limited to scholars working specifically in or on Dewey studies,
though such scholars obviously should be considered. Rather, the intent
of the committee is to recognize a lifetime
of accumulated scholarship that exemplifies a Deweyan approach to
educational practice, educational theory, and the public sphere. The
nominating letter for this award should include a description of the
cumulative record of scholarship and/or practice that
makes the nominee deserving of the award. The criteria the committee
will be keeping in mind are: (1) the congruence between the work of
Dewey and the work of the nominee, and (2) the achievement of a coherent
body of work over a lifetime of practice and scholarship.
Inclusion of the nominee’s c.v. will be helpful for the committee, and
additional letters of support from colleagues are encouraged.

John Dewey Society Award for Outstanding Achievement
The
Awards for Outstanding Achievement will be awarded to those individuals
who, in the judgment of the committee, have most strongly exemplified
the Deweyan tradition of connecting
theory and practice. Each year, the awards will recognize significant
achievements in scholarship and/or in social, cultural, or educational
practice accomplished within the two previous calendar years (January –
December). This award is not limited to scholars
working specifically in or on Dewey studies, though such scholars
obviously should be considered. Rather, the intent of the committee is
to recognize a particular achievement, in scholarship or in practice,
that exemplifies, expands, develops, or contributes
to Dewey’s view of education for democratic life. The letter for this
award should provide sufficient detail about the achievement and its
connection to Deweyan scholarship and/or practice for the committee to
make its decision, and additional letters of support
from colleagues are encouraged.
All replies should go to Anthony DeCeasare, chair of the Nominating Committee, at ADECESA1@depaul.edu.
