Reviews
“Jorgensen has brilliantly brought together some of progressive education’s finest public intellectuals to powerfully describe the multiplicity of ways Dewey’s work has made lasting impacts on the work of educationists across generations. Jorgensen’s anthology of voices proves that Dewey still challenges us to take up his call to ensure learning spaces are democratic and relevant to the lives of people and their richly intersectional identities.” (Rene Antrop-Gonzalez, Dean, School of Urban Education, Metropolitan State University, USA)
“Jorgensen is an established Dewey scholar in his own right. In this volume, he converses with fourteen other scholars, all of whom have been influenced in a myriad of ways, by Dewey. This is, indeed, an all-star cast. The consensus on Dewey's relevance is strong, as is the difference in the ways that various people see that relevance. Bravo, Jorgensen, et al.” (Wayne J. Urban, Professor Emeritus of Higher Education and Educational Policy, University of Alabama, USA)
