-------from Kerrin's Post------------
I'm afraid Dewey on disability will be a hard paper to write. I can't think
of
anything that would be directly germane to that topic. However, Ms. Schriempf
might try looking away from Dewey's philosophy of education and more into his
philosophy of pragmatism. Dewey was primarily a pragmatist; his education
philosophy grew out of that. She should start with the entry on pragmatism
in the
Encyclopedia of Philosophy (the UO library no doubt has it). Pragmatism can
be
made to work with anything (because it's pragmatic!). It would be doable to
propose a theory of disability that is in accord with pragmatism.
