Interview with Professor Meira Levinson: Democracy, Dilemmas and Educational Ethics
Forster, Daniella J.; McPherson, Amy; Douglas, Samuel
Global Studies of Childhood, v9 n2 p109-119 Jun 2019
In the following interview, Meira Levinson (Harvard Graduate School) discusses the field of educational ethics and how it can enhance justifiable youth activism to enact citizenship education and recover democracy. She introduces readers to her philosophical approach for developing normative case studies that aim to be inclusive of divergent views on knowledge and value in schooling. Professor Levinson visited the School of Education at the University of Newcastle, Australia, in August 2018, to advise the Educational Ethics: Dilemmas of Diversity Network project team. During her visit she discussed with local teachers and school leaders about how educational practices can ethically address differences, diversities and decision-making in pluralist democracies.
