Schutz, Aaron – Philosophical Studies in Education, 2022
Educational theory has tended to avoid discussions of how the less powerful might come together to contest oppression. Yet strategies for collective action are learned practices, like any others.

Two practices in education--community-based learning and deliberative democratic discourse--have been lauded as highly effective in instilling democratic values in students and preparing them to be active citizens.

Narey, Daniel C. – Philosophical Studies in Education, 2012
Democracy is often theorized as a form of political association grounded in shared meanings, common experiences, and convergent interests among the associated individuals.

Watras, Joseph – Philosophical Studies in Education, 2012
In the first half of the twentieth century, the ideal of democracy influenced the conceptions people had of the academic subject matters. A common criticism was that abstract academic subjects served aristocratic societies.
