I'm Professor in Library & Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During 2007-08, I held a Fulbright Chair at the National College of Ireland. I'm interested in democratic education, meaning both the development of critical, socially-engaged citizens and of learning environments (schools, libraries, community centers, ...), which are themselves democratic. Aspects of this work include research on community inquiry through collaborative community-based work, the theory of inquiry-based learning, drawing especially upon scholarship of the Dewey, Addams, and Progressive Education, and research on the affordances and constraints of new media for learning.
