What's New


A collection of essays, Jane Addams and the Practice of Democracy, ed. Marilyn Fischer, Carol Nackenoff, and Wendy Chmielewski. Available at http://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/.

A fresh, interdisciplinary approach to Addams's thought on democracy, citizenship, and international peace. "A treasure trove of new Jane Addams scholarship that confirms her continuing relevance to our new century. As these essays clearly demonstrate, on the crucial areas of immigration, democratization, globalization, and gender issues, Addams was light years ahead of her time." Larry Hickman, Director of the Center for Dewey Studies.

My essay, "The Courage of One's Convictions or the Conviction of One's Courage? Jane Addams's Principled Compromises," is included in this collection.
