About

After a long career at Teachers College, Columbia University—50 years as a student and teacher—I have “graduated,” as I like to put it. Looking ahead, feeling energetic and well-prepared, I will work as an independent scholar through the Collaboratory for Liberal Learning to advance radical scholarship and criticism, work that goes to the root of education, public affairs, and culture. Early in 2012, I published a Utopian critique of schooling and historical life—ENOUGH: A PEDAGOGIC SPECULATION. Further essays will follow. Let us speak out against fear mongers, the pundits of public parsimony, and the peddlers of self-serving prudence. We can aspire to more positive possibilities—constructing historical realities in which humanity achieves elegant, fair, and meaningful solutions to the great uncertainties of our time.
