How free are classroom teachers? Understanding teacher academic freedom in the United States and Canada
Moral status, epistemic agency, and the education of students labeled with intellectual disability
Students labeled with intellectual disability, including those with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities, are subject to numerous practices that diminish or demonstrate disregard for their status as knowers. The widespread acceptance of epistemically undermining educational practices aligns with a prominent philosophical conception of equal moral status, which we reject. The alternative conception of moral status that we outline brings…

Food insecurity, coping strategies and glucose control in low-income patients with diabetes
Objective To examine the relationship between food insecurity and coping strategies (actions taken to manage economic stress) hypothesized to worsen glucose control in patients with diabetes. Design Using a cross-sectional telephone survey and clinical data, we compared food-insecure and food-secure individuals in their use of coping strategies. Using logistic regression models, we then examined the association between poor glucose control (glyca…
The ‘Futures’ of Queer Children and the Common School Ideal
This paper focuses on an especially urgent challenge to the legitimacy of the common school ideal—a challenge that has hardly been addressed within contemporary debates within liberal philosophy of education. The challenge arises from claims to accommodation by queer people and queer communities—claims that are based on notions of queerness and queer identity that are seriously underrepresented within contemporary liberal political and educationa…
Citizenship and Education in Liberal-Democratic Societies: Teaching for Cosmopolitan Values and Collective Identities
The essays in the volume address educational issues that arise when national, sub-national, and supra-national identities compete. These include: how to determine the limits to parental educational rights when liberalism’s concern to protect and promote children’s autonomy conflicts with the desire to maintain communal integrity; whether, given the advances made by the forces of globalization, the liberal–democratic state can morally justify its …
Can the Liberal State Support Cultural Identity Schools
Recently, several groups in the United States and Canada--for example, American Indian/First Nations people, African-American males, and the deaf--have claimed the right to receive state support for cultural identity schools--that is, separate schools whose educational aims and practices are designed to reinforce a particular cultural identity. It is widely assumed that liberalism must be committed to a principle of cultural neutrality that preve…
The importance of examples for moral education: An Aristotelian perspective
Moral Rules, Utilitarianism and Schizophrenic Moral Education
argued for and defended a 'two-level', view of moral agency. He argues that moral agents ought to rely on the rules of 'intuitive moral thinking'for their 'everyday' moral judgments. When these rules conflict or when we do not have a rule at hand, we ought to ascend to the act-utilitarian, 'critical' level of moral thinking. I argue that since the rules at the intuitive level of moral thinking necessarily conflict much more often than Hare suppos…
