We examine Hart's peripatetic career as teacher, editor,
journalist, lecturer, and public philosopher. It is biographical as
well as an intellectual history of a fascinating character and
prolific author. Our goal is to resurrect Hart's intellectual life
in order to more deeply understand the significant isuues he not
only confronted, but endured These issues primarily include
academic freedom and humanizing education, with their direct links
to community organizing and Danish folk schools-themes that run
throughout the book. Instead of seeing Hart's intellectual life as
a cautionary tale against forceful criticism, we offer a view
consistent with Hart: we should embrace the "full and frank" sense
of academic freedom in order to demonstrate a truly democratic mode
of associated living in universities and civic communities.
Respecting different views should not mean mollifying critique. The
opposite, in fact, is in keeping with our view of the open exchange
of ideas characteristic of free societies and legitimate
institutions of higher education. Other theme of significance in
this book include the status of the social foundations in teacher
education, social welfare, pacifism, community organizing, the
broader purpose of schools and universities in the U.S., and Hart's
commitment to adult education via Danish folk schools and rural
community living. The politics of teacher education are legion, and
this was no less so when Hart began his career in the early
twentieth century. Debates were had about the degree to which
normal schools, as two?year teacher training sites, should broaden
their technical scope to include the liberal arts. This is the
distinction between teacher training and teacher education. Those
in favor of classroom management and efficient controls or methods
for dispensing curriculum faced criticism from those who thought
schools should be embryotic spaces for individual and democratic
growth. Hart was clearly on the side of individual and democratic
growth and this meant, in part, less order, less routine, and less
bureaucratic imposition of standards from bureaucratic hierarchies.
Positively, it meant engaging in debates that challenge students to
think differently than they have ever thought before. As we show in
the following pages, Hart was enormously successful at challenging
ideas...and many people would rather not be challenged. As we
noticed above, this position results in demonstrating a ""full and
frank"" enactment of academic freedom.
Written in a friendly voice, filled with dynamic photos, and
featuring text crafted for the youngest of readers, these books
touch upon the history and traditions of a diverse range of both
secular and faith- based festive celebrations. Each Seedlings book
closes with a labeled-image guide for further review. As
introductions to informational text, these titles will plant the
seeds of knowledge! Day of the Dead covers the holiday's history,
popular traditions, and such defining symbols as marigolds and
skulls.
