AI and the Future of (Philosophy of) Education
I forcefully argue that generative AI presents an unprecedented and existential threat to the project of education. Reflecting on how we have historically understood the work of philosophers of education, I argue that our work going forward will be to defend the importance of requiring everyone to cultivate their minds when it is possible for them to outsource most tasks to a machine
The Cambridge World History of Sexualities
Volume IV examines the intersections of modernity and human sexuality through the forces, ideas, and events that have shaped the modern world. Through eighteen chapters, this volume examines connections between sexuality and the defining forces of modern global history including capitalism, colonialism, migration, consumerism, and war; sexuality in modern literature and print media; sexuality in dictatorships and democracies; and cultural changes…
Commentary on The Right to Higher Education
Martin’s argument for the right to higher education is an exercise in ideal theory, which specifically distances itself from the familiar failings of compulsory education. I argue that even using sufficientarian criteria for admission to higher education would perpetuate non-ideal patterns of inequality and that reasonable forms of selectivity would still limit access to autonomy-promoting higher education. Martin’s case should prompt us to think…
Assessing a touchy subject
Assessment is a necessary task in all areas of education, but there is no agreement on how to assess the impacts of different approaches to sex education, both on an individual level and on a population level over time. The history of mid-20th Century Family Life Education in the United States illuminates some of the obstacles that have made assessing sex education programmes so difficult: control groups, access to large numbers of research subje…
The appropriation of sex education by conservative populism
Curriculum change involves struggles among political actors and interest groups, and those efforts related to sex education have been noted for their particularly vexatious character. When Doug Ford was elected Premier of Ontario, Canada in 2018, he immediately repealed the comprehensive health curriculum of 2015 and attempted to muzzle teachers during the 2018–2019 school year, only to unveil a strikingly similar “new” curriculum for 2019–2020. …

Just Say No
Scholars of sexuality have argued that ‘moral panics’ about sexuality often stand in for broader conflicts over nationality and belonging. Canada has spent decades cultivating a national image founded on multiculturalism and democratic equality. The Ontario sexuality education curriculum introduced in 2015 drew audible condemnation from a variety of groups. Drawing from Critical Discourse Analysis and Critical Race Theory, we argue that the publi…

Should teachers be authentic
Authenticity is often touted as an important virtue for teachers. But what do we mean when we say that a teacher ought to be ‘authentic’? Research shows that discussions of teacher authenticity frequently refer to other character traits or simply to teacher effectiveness, but authenticity is a unique concept with a long philosophical history. Once we understand authenticity as an ethical and metaphysical question, the presumed connection between …
From fetal health to women’s health
Smoking during pregnancy has long been a preoccupation of public health, eclipsing and delaying attention to women’s smoking and women’s health. Despite decades of intense attention within tobacco control to smoking and pregnancy, there have been few effective interventions developed with women who are pregnant and smoke and persistently high rates of relapse postpartum. We argue that a history of fetus-centric, individually oriented, decontextua…
Politics Without “Brainwashing”
Social justice education (SJE) is a ubiquitous, if inconsistently defined, component of contemporary education theory and practice. Recently, SJE has come under fire for being politically biased and even “brainwashing” children in the public education system. In a liberal democracy such as our own, it is important that state‐sponsored actions and essential public goods can be justified to all citizens, not only to those with a particular set of b…
Authenticity and the Limits of Philosophy
Almost everyone has had an intuitive experience of authenticity that seems to reveal a glimmer of one's true identity. Yet by positing the existence of a 'true self,' authenticity introduces metaphysical challenges that resist systematic solutions. I argue that authenticity properly analyzed demands an essentialist structure that strains to be applied to personal identity. I then assess the three most influential types of accounts in modern philo…
