Callan, Eamonn – Philosophical Inquiry in Education, 2016
Recent student demands within the academy for "safe space" have aroused concern about the constraints they might impose on free speech and academic freedom. There are as many kinds of safety as there are threats to the things that human beings might care about. That is why we need to be very clear about the specific threats of which the…

Callan, Eamonn – Theory and Research in Education, 2016
Two appealing principles of educational distribution--equality and sufficiency--are comparatively assessed. The initial point of comparison is the distribution of civic educational goods. One reason to favor equality in educational distribution rather than sufficiency is the elimination of undeserved positional advantage in access to labor…

Callan, Eamonn – Theory and Research in Education, 2011
Teachers sometimes shut students up for the sake of civility. My question is whether silencing for the sake of civility can be morally justified when a student derogates fellow students as members of some widely stigmatized group, and the offending speech is not for any further reason to be deplored, for example, as a personally targeted insult.…

Sardoc, Mitja; White, John – Theory and Research in Education, 2018
Mitja Sardoc's interview with John White discusses a neglected aspect of the educational goal of equipping learners to lead a life of autonomous well-being--trying to ensure that they have adequate options from which to choose worthwhile activities and relationships. Following a brief account of the nature of autonomous well-being, White outlines…

Turcotte-Summers, Jonathan – Philosophical Inquiry in Education, 2016
In this article, Turcotte-Summers responds to Eamonn Callan's essay "Education in Safe and Unsafe Spaces" (2016) with three main counterarguments. First, the correct response to the systemic oppressions faced by our students is not a more liberal but a more liberatory and radical education. Second, dignity safety is not a useful…

Callan, Eamonn – Theory and Research in Education, 2006
William Galston posed two dilemmas about parental rights and education in "Liberal Purposes". The first of these arises from conflict between the proper ends of civic education in a liberal society and the values that some parents will want to honor in the way they rear their children; the second arises from conflict between how the basic…

Mayo, Cris – Philosophical Inquiry in Education, 2016
In his discussion of safety on campus, Eamonn Callan (2016) suggests a way to distinguish between two sorts of safety: "dignity safety" and "intellectual safety." As much as this author has some concerns that student activists should think more about pedagogy, she is not sure that "dignity" is the best approach to…

Ben-Porath, Sigal – Philosophical Inquiry in Education, 2016
In his excellent paper, Callan (2016) differentiates intellectual safety, which fosters smugness, indifference and lack of effort, from dignity safety, which is needed for participation, learning and engagement. He suggests that college classrooms that reject the first and espouse the second would be ones that focus on "cultivating…

Callan, Eamonn – Journal of Moral Education, 1985
It is argued that liberalism is rejectable by reasonable people and that inculcating liberal beliefs in the minds of children is, therefore, inconsistent with liberalism. In particular, R. M. Hare's defense of teaching liberal morality as being consistent with liberal morality itself is attacked. (Author/RM)

Callan, Eamonn – Educational Studies, 1984
Hirst's notion of liberal education is very popular because of its emphasis on developing personal autonomy. However, specialized education need not be confining if we accept the idea of a common moral outlook; such training does not exclude interest in other areas. (IS)

Callan, Eamonn – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 1983
Common criticisms of schooling by Ivan Illich, Paulo Freire, and other radicals are examined to show how one can agree with many of the fundamental premises of the argument for deschooling and yet dissent from its conclusion. Deschoolers challenge philosophers of education to confront a number of philosophical problems. (SR)

Callan, Eamonn – Educational Theory, 1982
John Dewey's doctrine that education is a process of continuing growth is analyzed and critiqued. Dewey's principles of interaction and continuity and his commitment to scientific problem-solving and democratic values are discussed. Inconsistencies in Dewey's thought are pointed out. (PP)

Callan, Eamonn – Educational Theory, 1981
Respect for individuality did not penetrate deeply into John Dewey's thought, and, consequently, mass solidarity, based on group cooperation and sharing of interests, is emphasized at the expense of individuality. Examples of Dewey's theories about art and science are used to illustrate the point. (PP)

Callan, Eamonn – Canadian Journal of Education, 1995
A vision of common education for citizens of a liberal democracy warrants faith in common schools as an instrument of social good. Some kinds of separate schooling are not inconsistent with common schooling and are even desirable. Equal respect, as defined by J. Rawls, is a basis for common education. (SLD)

Callan, Eamonn – American Journal of Education, 1995
Addresses the issue of how the centrality of virtue might be accommodated in dialog within common schools under the conditions of pluralism. Two contrasting approaches to moral dialog under these conditions are examined and rejected followed by a third approach, derived from John Rawl's conceptions of reasonableness and democratic tolerance, that…
