After exploring the effects of neoliberal conceptions of schooling against broader democratic forms of education, this book suggests that Dewey's vision of the "teacher-as-prophet" is a useful model for positioning teachers as agents of social change. By catalysing the religious work of schools-understood not as teaching religion, but as a process of social unification-the Deweyan teacher-as-prophet can stimulate experimentation towards a democratic ideal of schooling UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781351011730 ER -
