Call For Papers:
Dewey Studies is pleased to invite submissions for publication in this peer-reviewed journal
dedicated to furthering the vital philosophical work of John Dewey. For more information,
please visit Dewey Studies at http://www.johndeweysociety.org/dewey-studies/
Aims and Scope:
Dewey Studies is an online, open-access journal of the John Dewey Society dedicated to
furthering understanding of John Dewey’s philosophical work and enlivening his unique mode of
engagement with the vital philosophical questions of our time.
Dewey Studies welcomes articles engaging with Dewey’s philosophical interests, broadly
understood—whether metaphysics, logic, aesthetics, philosophy of science, psychology,
democratic theory, philosophy of culture, or a number of other fields.
We ask that authors whose works deal primarily with the philosophy of education consider
instead submitting to one of the John Dewey Societies’ education focused journals: Education
and Culture or The Journal of School and Society.
Dewey Studies seeks to publish articles that:
(1) Contribute to the ongoing exegesis and analysis of Dewey’s philosophical positions.
(2) Demonstrate how Deweyan resources can help resolve problematic situations: not only
within the philosophical tradition, but more broadly as well.
(3) Situate Dewey as a significant figure within the history of philosophy (and history more
broadly), by showing how he influenced and was influenced by others.
(4) Discuss the relationship between Dewey and American philosophy, especially American
pragmatism.
(5) Appeal to the interests and needs of Dewey scholars.
Submission Guidelines:
To submit a manuscript for publication,
please send an email to:
Jared Kemling, Associate Editor
jaredkemling@gmail.com
To submit a book review or inquire as to what
books are available for review, please email:
Daniel Brunson, Reviews Editor
daniel.brunson@morgan.edu
Your submission should:
(1) Conform to the aims and scope of the journal.
(2) Contain a cover letter as an attachment (.doc or google doc) with an abstract of the
article, as well as your contact information. The cover letter should be clearly labelled
with your name and article title, such as—DS Cover Letter: Your Name, Article Title.
(3) Contain your essay as an attachment (.doc or google doc), prepared for blind review, with
a clearly labelled title such as—DS Submission: Article Title.
Your essay should follow the following formatting guidelines:
(1) 5-8k words (preferably), submitted as a single paginated file.
(2) Follows the Chicago Manual of Style, with citations included as footnotes.
(3) Submissions should be in English. US and UK spellings are both acceptable, as long as
the essay is internally consistent.
(4) Double quotation marks should be used for quotes, with punctuation generally falling
inside the quotes (see the CMS for details).
(5) Single quotation marks should be used for quotes within quotes, or as scare quotes for
emphasis. Punctuation generally falls inside the quotes (see the CMS for details).
(6) Dewey Studies follows citation guidelines set by the Center for Dewey Studies, as follows
(adapted from the Center’s website):
(a) Standard references to John Dewey's work are to the critical (print) edition, The
Collected Works of John Dewey, 1882-1953, edited by Jo Ann Boydston
(Carbondale and Edwardsville: Southern Illinois University Press, 1969-1991),
and published in three series as The Early Works (EW), The Middle Works (MW)
and The Later Works (LW). These designations are followed by volume and page
number. "LW 1.14," for example, refers to The Later Works, volume 1, page 14.
In order to ensure uniform citations of the critical edition, the pagination of the
pr int edition has been preserved in The Collected Works of John Dewey,
1882-1953: The Electronic Edition, edited by Larry A. Hickman (Charlottesville,
Virginia: InteLex Corp., 1996).
(b) Sample Citation: John Dewey, The Collected Works of John Dewey, 1882-1953,
ed. by Jo Ann Boydston (Carbondale and Edwardsville: Southern Illinois
University Press, 1969-1991), LW 14:311.
(c) After the initial citation of the Collected Works, it is acceptable for subsequent
citations to only feature the shorthand designation (i.e., LW 14:311).
Copyright of all published work remains with the author(s). As an open-access journal, we
encourage authors and readers to share our publications freely, with appropriate
acknowledgement. As a matter of standard academic practice, any subsequent print appearance
of a work published in Dewey Studies should acknowledge that prior publication.

The John Dewey Society and the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy 2017 CFP
JOHN DEWEY SOCIETY at SAAP 2017: Call For Participation
The John Dewey Society calls for proposals for its panel on Creative Democracy: The Task Before Us in the Era of Clinton v. Trump, to be held at the annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy (SAAP) at Birmingham, AL , March 16-18 2017.
What are the challenges to a vibrant and healthy democratic life? In an essay late in life, Creative Democracy – The Task Before Us, Dewey calls upon us to not take democratic life for granted. More than a political institution, Dewey sees democracy as dependent upon family, friendship, the economy, and other parts of the fabric of civil society.
Today, in many countries, institutions of democracy are being threatened by growing inequality, mistrust of the other, and poverty. It is a time to return to Dewey’s text to consider how democratic life can be fostered amidst these challenges.
The following topics are based on Dewey’s essay and are meant to prompt ideas about suitable papers, and not be prescriptive or exhaustive.
- The meaning of democracy as a personal or individual way of life today;
- The effects of globalization, information technologies and robotics on democratic institutions;
- Failure of effective political representation in post-industrial democratic oligarchies;
- The 2008 global economic downturn today’s democratic institutions;
- The Big Lie, post-truth, and the media;
- Creative directions for the U. S. two party system after Clinton v. Trump.
Please send proposals (500 words, maximum) to Leonard J. Waks, President, The John Dewey Society, at ljwaks@yahoo.com by midnight Eastern time, Friday, December 22, 2016.

Challenges for Democracy: New Developments and Tendencies
Call
for Abstracts
The John Dewey Society presents
The Third Annual
Dewey Through Generations Panel
In Creative Democracy – The Task Before Us Dewey
reminds us that democracy should not be seen as a political machine which once
it is set up would perpetuate its existence automatically. On the contrary, the
very existence and health of our democracies depend on conditions which go
beyond our immediate political institutions and which concern our family
relations, our friendships, our economical organization, etc. In a time where
our democratic institutions seem to be endangered by increasing structural
inequality, globalization, economic crisis and the reemergence of xenophobic
attitudes, we should return to the theoretical resources Dewey has to offer on
these present challenges for our democracies.
Hence,
in the DtG panel 2017 we propose to explore the following questions:
·
How are the latest developments in the democratic life of our societies
to be critically assessed? What are the observable tendencies? Are there only
reasons to worry or are there reasons also for hope in the recovery and
deepening of democracy?
·
What have been the effects of the financial crash of 2008 for our
democratic institutions and practices? What can we expect from the reforms
brought about by current governments?
·
Are there economic alternatives to capitalism (not only classical, but
also in its neoliberal form) which could work as better social foundations for
democratic practice?
· How do global problems
(climate change, wars and conflicts, etc.) affect our democracies? Should we
see these global conditions as obstacles, as opportunities, or both?
The Dewey Through Generations Panel was
established in 2015 to highlight and support emerging Dewey inspired scholars
and practitioners (including but not limited to graduate students) by bringing
them into a dialogue with eminent scholars who reflect the best of Dewey's
philosophical practice. One eminent Dewey scholar participates in a dialogue
(as commentator/respondent) with the emerging scholar panelists. We are pleased
to announce that this year’s Dewey Scholar will be Gregory Pappas (Texas A&M University). For an overview of Dr.
Pappas’ scholarship see:
Submissions Due: November
15, 2016 (By 11:59 PM, CST)

below) via email with an attachment as an MSWord document. All proposals should
be received on or before November 15, 2016, by Just Serrano at dtg@johndeweysociety.org.
