Ed Week’s: Bridging Differences

Bridging Differences

In Bridging Differences
Deborah exchanges views with a different colleague, each for a month or two. Her current correspondent is Harry Boyte, a Minnesotan (although his roots are southern). He has always been a friend and mentor, even though we come to stuff in different ways and even disagree on and off. He is a professor and an activist, a theorist and a practitioner, with a focus on democracy—beginning a long time ago when he worked with Martin Luther King. He has written or edited ten books on the topic and founded a Center on
democracy which is now at St Augsberg College, but formerly at the University of Minnesota.

Ed Week’s: Bridging Differences

Posted on October 4, 2012 by debmeier

A reminder that Pedro Noguerra and I are just starting to figure out how to deal with our differences–and the prospect really excites me. Precisely because we agree on so much, the sharp disagreements we also have raise for me (and hopefully readers too) important further exploration!
Meanwhile keep your eyes out for Diane Ravitch’s many posted blogs. Terrific resource for us all.
