DESCRIPTION:*SPEAKERS:*\n\nGert Biesta\, Professor of Educational Theory a
 nd Policy\, University of Luxemburg \n\nRuth Heilbronn\, Lecturer in Educa
 tion\, Institute of Education\n\nRichard Pring\, Senior Research Fellow\, 
 University of Oxford\n\n*ABSTRACT:*\n\nDemocracy and Education\, published
  in 1916\, has been praised and reviled - and often overlooked. However\, 
 in proposing a complete philosophy of education and account of its role in
  society\, and in comprehensively critiquing contemporary practices which 
 are still prevalent a century later\, its scope and force have rarely been
  equalled.\n\nIn this seminar\, leading experts will call for a re-evaluat
 ion of how Dewey's book has shaped the philosophy and history of education
  - and of how relevant and challenging it remains. They will propose the c
 onvention of a major conference in 2016 to do so\, and discuss possibiliti
 es for designing new research to inform the conference and broaden its imp
 act.\n\nWe invite you to come and contribute.
