Democratic Education

In Democratic Education, Bertram Bruce insists that democracy and education rise (and fall) together. He goes beyond the generally accepted formula of education of, by, and for democracy to articulate a commitment to education with democracy — through which "educators and students work to simultaneously transform both education and society to become more democratic." The spirit of both John Dewey (democracy) and Paulo Freire (hope) resonate in the concrete case studies he employs to make his argument.
