Progressivism: Progressive Movement
built 645 days ago
Richard Hofstadter linked [T]his moralistic aspect of Progressivism with the fact that many independent businessmen, lawyers and clergymen were prominent in reform movements. “Progressivism,” he suggested, “was to a very considerable extent led by men who suffered from the events of their time not through a shrinkage in their means but through the changed pattern in the distribution of deference and power.” The dominant classes of an earlier age—“the old gentry, merchants of long standing, the small manufacturers, the established professional men”—were now being overshadowed by “the newly rich, the grandiosely or corruptly rich, the masters of great corporations.”[33]

John Dewey (1859–1952), who would later be remembered as the "father of Progressive education," was the most eloquent and arguably most influential figure in educational Progressivism. A noted philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer, Dewey graduated from the University of Vermont in 1879, taught high school briefly, and then earned his doctorate in philosophy at the newly formed Johns Hopkins University in 1884. Dewey taught at the University of Michigan from 1884 to 1888, the University of Minnesota from 1888 to 1889, again at Michigan from 1889 to 1894, then at the University of Chicago from 1894 to 1904, and, finally, at Columbia University from 1904 until his retirement in 1931.
