The John Dewey Society 2026 conference Call for Proposals is officially open! The conference will be held in Montréal, Canada from August 10-12, 2026.

Proposals are due March 1, 2026.
This image contains information about the Call for Proposals for the John Dewey Society's annual conference. The John Dewey Society invites submissions for the 2026 annual meeting, to be held at Concordia University, and at Université du Québec à Montréal, in Montréal, Canada, from August 10th - 12th. The deadline for proposals in March 1, 2026. 2026 marks our 90th anniversary. In celebration of this important milestone, we are delighted to be cooperating with the International Network of Philosophers of Education (INPE) and the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain (PESGB). Join us for what promises to be a unique opportunity to meet with others from around the world, engage in dialogue, and form new connections! We issue a broad call, acknowledging the impact of Dewey’s work across philosophical scholarship, education and community organizing. We invite proposals for paper or alternative sessions that take up the ideas and spirit of Dewey to analyze pressing social issues of our time, especially as these relate to education. We also encourage contributions on our conference theme: The John Dewey Society at 90 — Borders and Bridges For more details see the rest of the CFP or visit the conference website at https://www.johndeweysociety.org/conferences/montreal-2026/ This image contains information that details the conference theme: Our conference theme, Borders and Bridges, is designed to acknowledge the ways borders are and are not being crossed, and bridges are and are not being built in today’s educational, social and political worlds. We invite proposals that consider how Dewey’s thinking may help us locate those ideas and practices in our own time that create borders in our minds—divisiveness, distortion of truth and understanding, and suppression of free interchange of ideas—and those that might bridge communities, possibly releasing the “educative power” present in all human relations. Proposals might address, but are not limited to: 1) Democracy, education and justice: What can we learn by connecting past and present philosophical analysis of the relation between democracy, education and justice? (How) can we link Deweyan philosophy to contemporary Indigenous and decolonial theories to confront injustices and move towards equity and social justice? 2) The teacher and society: What is the teacher’s role in questions of equity, inclusion, and fostering democratic ways of life, given current societal challenges? What barriers to free association might we identify today within and between classrooms, schools and communities, and how might these be addressed? (How) might Deweyan thinking on teaching connect to contemporary dialogic, relational, Indigenous and/or decolonial pedagogies? 3) The arts, education and social change: What is the role of the arts in revitalising democracy as a way of life? Might Deweyan thinking inspire new creative, experimental approaches to education today (like Black Mountain College in the 30’s), that could help us confront current challenges in Higher Education? How can the arts, in all forms, intentionally incorporate what is cognitive, affective, and practice-based, opening new vistas for both democracy and education that go beyond the academic/intellectual? This image contains information about how to submit a proposal: How to Submit Deadline for all submissions: March 1, 2026 (midnight EST). We will employ EasyChair for proposal review (EasyChair.org). All proposal must be submitted on EasyChair by the deadline. Please create an account in EasyChair and then link your account to the John Dewey Society 2026 using the link provided: https://easychair.org/my2/conference?conf=jds2026 The system is now open for proposals. Questions about submissions may be directed to Jessica Heybach, JDS Program Chair (jessica.heybach@wmich.edu). Notification of acceptance by April 15, 2026. Full papers should be completed by June 1, 2026, and sent to the programme chair, so that discussants can prepare remarks. Awards and publication: Presented papers will be eligible for consideration for the JDS/Educational Theory Outstanding Paper Award. That award carries with it a $500 prize, with publication (after peer review) of the paper in Educational Theory. Graduate students are eligible for the Graduate Student Outstanding Paper Award. We also encourage accepted submissions to submit their completed paper to one of the Society’s journals: Education & Culture, the Journal of School & Society, and Dewey Studies. For further details see: conference page on the JDS website at https://www.johndeweysociety.org/conferences/montreal-2026/ This image contains information about proposal types: Proposals for papers: (1) The title of your paper (2) Your name, email, country/region, and institutional affiliation (if any) (3) A short abstract of the paper, up to 100 words (4) The status of your JDS membership (current member, interested in joining, needs more information, etc.) (5) Are you a graduate student who is interested in being considered for the John Dewey Society Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Award?
