@maxkennerly @pawsplay the best thing Dems could do is go #left. We need to look to our own #progressives from #JohnDewey during the early 20th century to #BernieSanders in the early 21st.

“Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving.”

“To strengthen [broad-based] trust [in American liberal-arts schools], we must demonstrate that [these institutions] foster open inquiry, deep research, and pragmatic approaches to the pressing problems and opportunities before us. If our colleges and universities graduate practical idealists rather than narrow-minded conformists, we will be serving our nation and the world.” #JohnDewey

Boozhoo! Hello! Here's a little #introduction. With family from #TurtleMountain, I'm a #historian or #histodon who teaches #Indigenous, #education, and #environmental histories. Ask me about my book project on #JohnDewey, America's most prominent philosopher of education and democracy and his relationship with Indian #BoardingSchools. In my more-than-academic life, I enjoy #fantasy, #gaming, and #Tolkien, among other geeky pursuits. I'm always happy to think together.

Are there any #AmericanPragmatism scholars, historians, theorists, or philosophers on mastodon? #JohnDewey #WEBDuBois #JaneAddams #WilliamJames #GeorgeHMead #CornellWest #CWrightMills My own interest is prior to 1970 but I’m interested in the whole broad field including #FeministPragmatism and the more recent moves into #HemisphericAmericanPragmatism

"Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method, cultivated by philosophers, for dealing with the problems of men." #JohnDewey #TheMetaphysicalClub #pragmatism
