New Interpretation

This article offers a critical review of the historical literature on the National Education Association’s (NEA) 1916 Committee on Social Studies (CSS) report, the document generally believed to have launched the social studies movement in American secondary schools. The review begins with a critical analysis of the four most pervasive interpretations of the report. Drawing upon these interpretations, the author suggests that there are three central issues at the heart of these disputes. The first is over the ideological origins of the report; the second, its institutional origins; and the third, its epistemological position. It is argued that the influence of John Dewey is the key to overcoming these disagreements by suggesting that the members of the Committee agreed upon a core of shared beliefs that reflected his philosophical ideas.

Matters Of Concern

This article argues that expertise has continued to hold an absolutely essential and profoundly embattled position in the knowledge/expertise/policy nexus. More than this, it suggests that this duality of the and – (rather than the clarity of the either or) is to be welcomed. is argument is made with reference to the controversies surrounding the sarin gas attack on Ghouta Damascus 21 August 2013. e article rst argues that expertise continues to be essential in the sense that it is integral to contemporary policy-controversies. As the discussion around the sarin gas attack shows expertise is both constituted through controversies and at the same time constituting them. e article proceeds to suggest that precisely because this is the case, it is important that expertise also remains embattled. As shown with reference to the sarin gas attack controversies, it is only through contestation that the role of expertise in the controversy can possibly be checked. As this shows, the argument put forward in this article has much in common with Bruno Latour’s recent insistence on the importance of not allowing experts to turn matters of concern into matters of fact. e argu- ment hence distances itself from those who strive to reestablish the authority of expertise by in various ways re ning our understanding of science and its relation to practice; that is from what Collins and Evans term the „third wave“ in the social studies of science. However, this article diverges from Latour in suggesting that for expertise to remain contested requires more than attention to hybrid agency and actants. It suggests that it also requires enrolling arguments from the „critical“ approaches that Latour rejects. e article insists on the integration of three such „critical“ arguments: the critique of markets for ideas, of technological politics, and of regulatory processes.
