John Dewey society

Originally called The Association for the Study of Education in its Social Aspects, (the name was changed to the John Dewey Society in early 1936) the John Dewey Society grew out of series of discussions held in 1934 and early 1935 among 60 or so liberal educators who wanted to found a society to "encourage in every way possible and itself conduct scholarly and scientific investigations of the relations of school and society, with particular reference to the place and function of education in the process of social change.". Beginning in 1941, the Society held its annual meeting together with the annual meetings of the Progressive Education Association (in Philadelphia) and the American Association of School Administrators (in Atlantic City). Other than annual meetings, the primary activity of the Society during its first three decades was publication of a series of Yearbooks. Sixteen yearbooks were published during the period 1937 to 1962. In 1957, the Society inaugurated the John Dewey Lecture, an annual presentation to AACTE (and after 1987, to the American Educational Research Association) that usually resulted in a book-length publication. In addition, the Society sponsers an annual John Dewey Memorial Lecture at the Annual meeting of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.
