---"Abstract: This paper presents an analytical framework for a reading of the Thought News project as an attempt to democratize the means of mass communication. The project was a creative endeavour of a former journalist Ford, and the American pragmatists, Dewey, Park, and Mead to set up an accessible newspaper about complex social processes. Because of its emphasis on the conditions of information diffusion as integrative and on the possible social bearing of theoretical knowledge, the project represents a typical nineteenth century reflection on mass communication. In this sense, it is comparable to the contemporaneous theories of Tarde and Schaffle, who similarly sought to improve the performance of the press. Arguably, central concerns of the project have not been obliterated by the new communication technologies, but persist instructively for our present uses of them."

---"Abstract: A Deweyan inquiry begins with an indeterminate situation and terminates, when successful, with a determinate situation, both of which Dewey holds to be unique and therefore ineffable. This ineffability requirement has the disastrous consequences that Dewey's beloved collective inquiry is impossible and that there are no objective criteria for the success of inquiry. It is found that Dewey's ineffability requirement results from his misbegotten attempt to aestheticize inquiry so that it is an act of artistic creation. It is suggested that things would go better if he dropped the ineffability requirement." I'm not entirely convinced of this argument's integrity, but I didn't want to rule it out. Does uniqueness really render something ineffable? Hmm..

"Abstract: Sunstein represents moral heuristics as rigid rules that lead us to jump to moral conclusions, and contrasts them with reflective moral deliberation, which he represents as independent of heuristics and capable of supplanting them. Following John Dewey's psychology of moral judgment, I argue that successful moral deliberation does not supplant moral heuristics but uses them flexibly as inputs to deliberation. Many of the flaws in moral judgment that Sunstein attributes to heuristics reflect instead the limitations of the deliberative context in which people are asked to render judgments.."

This essay looks at the range of activities that fall within the first trend, noting, in particular, the growing popularity of inquiry activities that engage students in engineering-type tasks. The potential for public disengagement from science and technology issues is described as a result of the continued juxtaposition of these sorts of inquiry activities with our current, idealized portrayals of the nature of science-the emphasis of the second trend. Drawing on Dewey's instrumental theory of knowledge, an alternative way of thinking about science is offered that would not only provide for a more authentic understanding of science, but also invite much needed public participation in the broad governance of science in modern-day democratic societies.."

"Abstract: Based on a yearlong critical inquiry project in a central Los Angeles high school, the author discusses the implications of engaging students in dialogue and critique about their experiences with race. The students' voices, through participant observation field notes and their own writing, tell stories of struggle and new found understandings about the relationship among equity, social issues, and their lives. Drawing upon the works of John Dewey, Paulo Freire, and Nancy Fraser critical inquiry is conceptualized as a valid learning tool with a liberatory agenda that creates an alternate public sphere where young people learn about themselves and question the status quo."

The community of inquiry is an ideal position from which public administrators can effectively examine how they approach problems, consider data, and communicate. Participatory democracy is a vital component of the community of inquiry developed by John Dewey and Jane Addams. The recognition of participatory democracy's place in public administration is underdeveloped. The community of inquiry context provides a useful lens to show how participatory democracy can nurture a creative public service."

---"Abstract: Psychology was once a methodologically diverse field. Yet psychology, including educational psychology, has been showing signs of a return to that methodological diversity by exploring ways to adapt 'qualitative' research methods to psychological research. This has raised concerns about the disciplinary integrity of psychology and whether such methodological explorations are possible while psychology remains distinctly 'psychological.' I suggest what is needed is a qualitative research methodology that psychology can call its own. The conceptual framework for such a methodology exists in John Dewey's philosophical writings. His work points the way to a qualitative experimentalism in the social sciences that takes individual lived experience as the beginning and ending point of its inquiries. Some of the specific features of a qualitative experimentalism are identified, and its unique appropriateness for psychological inquiry is highlighted. We may ask what is the effect on psychology of considering its material as something so distinct as to be capable of treatment without involving larger issues (Dewey, 1899, p. 159)."

Willinsky argues that publishing systems that provide greater public access to educational research are likely to help us to better understand and extend Dewey's democratic theory of education while promoting a more deliberative democratic state. Through this appeal, researchers can expand education's role within democracy by increasing the impact educational research has on practice and by providing an alternative perspective to the media's coverage of educational issues. The author challenges researchers to Participate in this democratic experiment by thinking of their work as a way to expand global opportunities for edification and deliberation within the public sphere of this information economy."

-Rodgers, Carol. "Defining Reflection: Another Look at John Dewey and Reflective Thinking." Teachers College Record 104.4: 842-866. June 2002.
---"Abstract: Thinking, particularly reflective thinking or inquiry, is essential to both teachers’ and students’ learning. In the past 10 to 15 years numerous commissions, boards, and foundations as well as states and local school districts have identified reflection/inquiry as a standard toward which all teachers and students must strive. However, although the cry for accomplishment in systematic, reflective thinking is clear, it is more difficult to distinguish what systematic, reflective thinking is. There are four problems associated with this lack of definition that make achievement of such a standard difficult. First, it is unclear how systematic reflection is different from other types of thought. Second, it is difficult to assess a skill that is vaguely defined. Third, without a clear picture of what reflection looks like, it has lost its ability to be seen and therefore has begun to lose its value. And finally, without a clear definition, it is difficult to research the effects of reflective teacher education and professional development on teachers’ practice and students’ learning. It is the purpose of this article to restore some clarity to the concept of reflection and what it means to think, by going back to the roots of reflection in the work of John Dewey. I look at four distinct criteria that characterize Dewey’s view and offer the criteria as a starting place for talking about reflection, so that it might be taught, learned, assessed, discussed, and researched, and thereby evolve in definition and practice, rather than disappear."

Clearing away some misconceptions about this theory allows us to grasp its practical and political focus, and to see its similarities to other strands of anti-positivist social thought, including hermeneutics and critical theory. I go on to examine the relationship between democratic values and the theory of inquiry. Like recent proponents of discursive conceptions of democracy such as Habermas he sees a connection between democracy and the conditions for rational procedures of problem solving. What connects democracy to inquiry for Dewey is primarily ethical and political, rather than epistemological. The article considers what may be usefully taken from Dewey's conception of social inquiry, without accepting his full ethical agenda."

---"Abstract: John Dewey's social psychology arose within the intellectual context of the nature-nurture controversy and the transition from laissez-faire to etatise liberalism. These ideas were themselves enveloped within the progression from competitive to corporate capitalism. Dewey's Human Nature and Conduct: An Introduction to Social Psychology (1922/1957), argued that choice and deliberation-agency--characterized human nature rather than behaviorism and determinism. Dewey's ideas also furnished a social-psychological justification for social reform through education as a way to imbue individuals with intelligent habits and, in the process, to reconstruct society. Neopragmatists Richard Rorty, Cornel West, and Charlene Haddock Seigfried charge that race, class, and gender, subsumed under the broader category of structural analysis, were ignored by Dewey and other pragmatists. Thus a final section connects this new line of inquiry to Dewey, highlighting differences and similarities."

---"Abstract: This article argues that it would be not only possible, but also prudent, for the field of public management to reclaim the philosophy of John Dewey as a guiding ethos for its practice. In Dewey’s view, the democratic community is responsible for ensuring that each person’s capacity for participation and self-government is fully developed. In such a community, citizens would engage in inquiry to choose appropriate action in particular situations. The public manager would participate in this process by contributing his or her expert knowledge but would not make policy decisions. Today’s decentralized and reinvented government presents an opportunity for the practice to reconnect to citizens in processes such as those advocated by Dewey."

-Bohman, James. "Theories, practices, and pluralism - A pragmatic interpretation of critical social science." Philosophy of the Social Sciences 29.4: 459-480, DEC 1999.
---"Abstract: A hallmark of recent critical social science has been the commitment to methodological and theoretical pluralism. Habermas and others have argued that diverse theoretical and empirical approaches are needed to support informed social criticism. However, an unresolved tension remains in the epistemology of critical social science: the tension between the epistemic advantages of a single comprehensive theoretical framework and those of methodological and theoretical pluralism. By shifting the grounds of the debate in a way suggested by Dewey's pragmatism, the author argues that a thoroughgoing pluralism strengthens, rather than weakens, both the social scientific and political aims of critical social science. Not only does pragmatism offer a plausible interpretation of the epistemic pluralism of the social sciences, but it also provides a way of thinking about their fundamentally practical and political character With a better normative vocabulary with which to discuss the epistemological issues of such a pluralistic mode of inquiry, the democratic role of critical inquiry and its specifically "practical" form of verification can be clarified.

---"Abstract: A Deweyan inquiry begins with an indeterminate situation and terminates, when successful, with a determinate situation, both of which Dewey holds to be unique and therefore ineffable. This ineffability requirement has the disastrous consequences that Dewey's beloved collective inquiry is impossible and that there are no objective criteria for the success of inquiry. It is found that Dewey's ineffability requirement results from his misbegotten attempt to aestheticize inquiry so that it is an act of artistic creation. It is suggested that things would go better if he dropped the ineffability requirement." I'm not entirely convinced of this argument's integrity, but I didn't want to rule it out. Does uniqueness really render something ineffable? Hmm..

"Abstract: Sunstein represents moral heuristics as rigid rules that lead us to jump to moral conclusions, and contrasts them with reflective moral deliberation, which he represents as independent of heuristics and capable of supplanting them. Following John Dewey's psychology of moral judgment, I argue that successful moral deliberation does not supplant moral heuristics but uses them flexibly as inputs to deliberation. Many of the flaws in moral judgment that Sunstein attributes to heuristics reflect instead the limitations of the deliberative context in which people are asked to render judgments.."

This essay looks at the range of activities that fall within the first trend, noting, in particular, the growing popularity of inquiry activities that engage students in engineering-type tasks. The potential for public disengagement from science and technology issues is described as a result of the continued juxtaposition of these sorts of inquiry activities with our current, idealized portrayals of the nature of science-the emphasis of the second trend. Drawing on Dewey's instrumental theory of knowledge, an alternative way of thinking about science is offered that would not only provide for a more authentic understanding of science, but also invite much needed public participation in the broad governance of science in modern-day democratic societies.."

"Abstract: Based on a yearlong critical inquiry project in a central Los Angeles high school, the author discusses the implications of engaging students in dialogue and critique about their experiences with race. The students' voices, through participant observation field notes and their own writing, tell stories of struggle and new found understandings about the relationship among equity, social issues, and their lives. Drawing upon the works of John Dewey, Paulo Freire, and Nancy Fraser critical inquiry is conceptualized as a valid learning tool with a liberatory agenda that creates an alternate public sphere where young people learn about themselves and question the status quo."

The community of inquiry is an ideal position from which public administrators can effectively examine how they approach problems, consider data, and communicate. Participatory democracy is a vital component of the community of inquiry developed by John Dewey and Jane Addams. The recognition of participatory democracy's place in public administration is underdeveloped.

---"Abstract: Psychology was once a methodologically diverse field. Yet psychology, including educational psychology, has been showing signs of a return to that methodological diversity by exploring ways to adapt 'qualitative' research methods to psychological research. This has raised concerns about the disciplinary integrity of psychology and whether such methodological explorations are possible while psychology remains distinctly 'psychological.' I suggest what is needed is a qualitative research methodology that psychology can call its own. The conceptual framework for such a methodology exists in John Dewey's philosophical writings. His work points the way to a qualitative experimentalism in the social sciences that takes individual lived experience as the beginning and ending point of its inquiries. Some of the specific features of a qualitative experimentalism are identified, and its unique appropriateness for psychological inquiry is highlighted. We may ask what is the effect on psychology of considering its material as something so distinct as to be capable of treatment without involving larger issues (Dewey, 1899, p. 159)."

Willinsky argues that publishing systems that provide greater public access to educational research are likely to help us to better understand and extend Dewey's democratic theory of education while promoting a more deliberative democratic state. Through this appeal, researchers can expand education's role within democracy by increasing the impact educational research has on practice and by providing an alternative perspective to the media's coverage of educational issues. The author challenges researchers to Participate in this democratic experiment by thinking of their work as a way to expand global opportunities for edification and deliberation within the public sphere of this information economy."

-Rodgers, Carol. "Defining Reflection: Another Look at John Dewey and Reflective Thinking." Teachers College Record 104.4: 842-866. June 2002.
---"Abstract: Thinking, particularly reflective thinking or inquiry, is essential to both teachers’ and students’ learning. In the past 10 to 15 years numerous commissions, boards, and foundations as well as states and local school districts have identified reflection/inquiry as a standard toward which all teachers and students must strive. However, although the cry for accomplishment in systematic, reflective thinking is clear, it is more difficult to distinguish what systematic, reflective thinking is. There are four problems associated with this lack of definition that make achievement of such a standard difficult. First, it is unclear how systematic reflection is different from other types of thought. Second, it is difficult to assess a skill that is vaguely defined. Third, without a clear picture of what reflection looks like, it has lost its ability to be seen and therefore has begun to lose its value. And finally, without a clear definition, it is difficult to research the effects of reflective teacher education and professional development on teachers’ practice and students’ learning. It is the purpose of this article to restore some clarity to the concept of reflection and what it means to think, by going back to the roots of reflection in the work of John Dewey. I look at four distinct criteria that characterize Dewey’s view and offer the criteria as a starting place for talking about reflection, so that it might be taught, learned, assessed, discussed, and researched, and thereby evolve in definition and practice, rather than disappear."

Clearing away some misconceptions about this theory allows us to grasp its practical and political focus, and to see its similarities to other strands of anti-positivist social thought, including hermeneutics and critical theory. I go on to examine the relationship between democratic values and the theory of inquiry. Like recent proponents of discursive conceptions of democracy such as Habermas he sees a connection between democracy and the conditions for rational procedures of problem solving. What connects democracy to inquiry for Dewey is primarily ethical and political, rather than epistemological. The article considers what may be usefully taken from Dewey's conception of social inquiry, without accepting his full ethical agenda."

---"Abstract: John Dewey's social psychology arose within the intellectual context of the nature-nurture controversy and the transition from laissez-faire to etatise liberalism. These ideas were themselves enveloped within the progression from competitive to corporate capitalism. Dewey's Human Nature and Conduct: An Introduction to Social Psychology (1922/1957), argued that choice and deliberation-agency--characterized human nature rather than behaviorism and determinism. Dewey's ideas also furnished a social-psychological justification for social reform through education as a way to imbue individuals with intelligent habits and, in the process, to reconstruct society. Neopragmatists Richard Rorty, Cornel West, and Charlene Haddock Seigfried charge that race, class, and gender, subsumed under the broader category of structural analysis, were ignored by Dewey and other pragmatists. Thus a final section connects this new line of inquiry to Dewey, highlighting differences and similarities."

---"Abstract: This article argues that it would be not only possible, but also prudent, for the field of public management to reclaim the philosophy of John Dewey as a guiding ethos for its practice. In Dewey’s view, the democratic community is responsible for ensuring that each person’s capacity for participation and self-government is fully developed. In such a community, citizens would engage in inquiry to choose appropriate action in particular situations. The public manager would participate in this process by contributing his or her expert knowledge but would not make policy decisions. Today’s decentralized and reinvented government presents an opportunity for the practice to reconnect to citizens in processes such as those advocated by Dewey."

-Bohman, James. "Theories, practices, and pluralism - A pragmatic interpretation of critical social science." Philosophy of the Social Sciences 29.4: 459-480, DEC 1999.
---"Abstract: A hallmark of recent critical social science has been the commitment to methodological and theoretical pluralism. Habermas and others have argued that diverse theoretical and empirical approaches are needed to support informed social criticism. However, an unresolved tension remains in the epistemology of critical social science: the tension between the epistemic advantages of a single comprehensive theoretical framework and those of methodological and theoretical pluralism. By shifting the grounds of the debate in a way suggested by Dewey's pragmatism, the author argues that a thoroughgoing pluralism strengthens, rather than weakens, both the social scientific and political aims of critical social science. Not only does pragmatism offer a plausible interpretation of the epistemic pluralism of the social sciences, but it also provides a way of thinking about their fundamentally practical and political character With a better normative vocabulary with which to discuss the epistemological issues of such a pluralistic mode of inquiry, the democratic role of critical inquiry and its specifically "practical" form of verification can be clarified.

---Here are a few excerpts from the review:
"Eric MacGilvray, professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, poses this question with a twist: "How can we combat the narrowing of our moral horizons that threatens to become a defining feature of modern societies and at the same time honor the diversity of moral commitments that we find in those societies?" (13–14). His thoughtful book, Reconstructing Public Reason, proposes a pragmatic modification of liberalism that hypothesizes making narrative accounts of proposed actions transparent, public, and prospective in order to test competing claims. By doing so, MacGilvray suggests that the "experimental intelligence" of citizens can be activated to secure legitimacy for collective decisionmaking.
While written for an audience of political theorists, Reconstructing Public Reason will appeal to scholars interested in deliberative democracy, pragmatism, and narrative reasoning."
"Each citizen has unique insights to contribute to public discourse, and the task of a pragmatic political theory is to integrate all these perspectives into a syncretic whole. Such a political orientation is [End Page 153] particularly relevant given the rapid advances in new communication technologies that empower citizen deliberation. Blogs, wikis, and podcasts—to name just a few technologies of the emergent democratic order—amplify public debate in civil society on a scale and frequency never before possible. The mass media, traditionally charged with channeling public needs and individual concerns, are gradually being displaced by these "niche-knowledge" providers which serve as new intermediaries for deliberation."
"Acknowledging one's own fallibility, while remaining open to others' claims, requires deft rhetorical maneuvering that MacGilvray leaves unexplored."
It seems to me that the above-mentioned "rhetorical maneuvering" is what could possibly contribute most to your tentative argument, but perhaps this book will help spawn some ideas?

---This title isn't so self-explanatory, so here's the abstract:
"Academic freedom, as conceptualized by John Dewey, entailed not only the principle of unfettered intellectual inquiry but also the equally important, but often overlooked, expectation of artful communication. Both the principle and the expectation were grounded in the argument that academic freedom is legitimized as an investment in democracy. The development of a great democratic community depends not only on unfettered social inquiry but also the full and moving public communication of intellectual insights and innovations. Consistent with Dewey's vision, and drawing on Michel de Certeau, this paper examines academic freedom as a form of political dissent and mode of resisting governing orthodoxies, that is, as a tactic or set of tactics for speaking in the democratic idiom. It draws on the examples of David Horowitz and Ward Churchill to caution against tactics of reverse recrimination that render dissenting speech strategically vulnerable to ruling frames of interpretation."

-Pfister, Damien. Review of Reconstructing Public Reason by Eric MacGilvray. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2004; pp xii + 247.
---Here are a few excerpts from the review:
"Eric MacGilvray, professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, poses this question with a twist: "How can we combat the narrowing of our moral horizons that threatens to become a defining feature of modern societies and at the same time honor the diversity of moral commitments that we find in those societies?" (13–14). His thoughtful book, Reconstructing Public Reason, proposes a pragmatic modification of liberalism that hypothesizes making narrative accounts of proposed actions transparent, public, and prospective in order to test competing claims. By doing so, MacGilvray suggests that the "experimental intelligence" of citizens can be activated to secure legitimacy for collective decisionmaking.
While written for an audience of political theorists, Reconstructing Public Reason will appeal to scholars interested in deliberative democracy, pragmatism, and narrative reasoning."
"Each citizen has unique insights to contribute to public discourse, and the task of a pragmatic political theory is to integrate all these perspectives into a syncretic whole. Such a political orientation is [End Page 153] particularly relevant given the rapid advances in new communication technologies that empower citizen deliberation. Blogs, wikis, and podcasts—to name just a few technologies of the emergent democratic order—amplify public debate in civil society on a scale and frequency never before possible. The mass media, traditionally charged with channeling public needs and individual concerns, are gradually being displaced by these "niche-knowledge" providers which serve as new intermediaries for deliberation."
"Acknowledging one's own fallibility, while remaining open to others' claims, requires deft rhetorical maneuvering that MacGilvray leaves unexplored."
It seems to me that the above-mentioned "rhetorical maneuvering" is what could possibly contribute most to your tentative argument, but perhaps this book will help spawn some ideas? Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to the review: http://0-muse.jhu.edu.helin.uri.edu/journals/rhetoric_and_public_affairs/v010/10.1pfister.html
