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
Awards Committee will seek nominations, particularly from members of the
Society. A short list will be drawn up from the nominations received. The
committee will then decide whether and to whom the award should be given.
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 scholars working on Dewey will be seriously considered by the committee.
This award recognizes a lifetime of accumulated scholarship that exemplifies a
Deweyan approach to educational practice, educational theory, and the public
sphere.
Anyone
may make a nomination. A nomination is comprised of a 500- to 1000-word note
that directly makes the case why a nominee should be given the award, as well
as the nominee’s CV (when and where available). Other materials may be
requested from the nominator at a later date.
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.
Questions
and nominations should be sent to Kyle Greenwalt, Chair of the JDS Awards
Committee, at greenwlt@msu.edu
by March 15, 2019.

Achievement will be awarded to that individual or those individuals who, in the
judgment of the committee, has or have, over the past two calendar years,
undertaken work that is innovative, groundbreaking, or pioneering in the fields
of democratic citizenship or progressive education.
Each year the
Awards Committee will seek nominations, particularly from members of the
Society. A short list will be drawn up from the nominations received. The
committee will then decide whether and to whom the award should be given.
This award is not
limited to scholars. 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.
Anyone may make a
nomination. A nomination is comprised of a 500- to 1000-word note
that directly makes the case why a nominee should be given the award, as well
as the nominee’s CV (when and where available). Other materials may be
requested from the nominator at a later date.
The criteria the
committee will be keeping in mind are: (1) the congruence between the spirit of
Dewey and the work of the nominee, and (2) a particular achievement, in
scholarship or practice, that operates a powerful reconstruction of an aspect
of life for democratic ends.
