Celebrating the 100th anniversary of John Dewey’s seminal work Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education, which has been taken as the theme of the inaugural year of Sarah Lawrence’s 11th president, Cristle Collins Judd, the series will consider the relevance of Dewey’s thoughts for the present day regarding the relationship between education and democratic ideals, challenges of equity and access, experiential learning, and the role of the arts in education. $100 for all four sessions plus an optional graduate credit for an additional $100. RSVP to artofteaching@sarahlawrence.edu. Single seminars may be taken at a cost of $25 per session.
