Patriotic Education in a Global Age
Tuesday, 28 May 2019, 6 – 8pm 
*PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT STARTS AT 6PM*
A panel discussion with Prof Randall Curren (University of Rochester) organised by the Department of Philosophy in association with the Participatory and Deliberative Democracy, Political Theory, and Teaching Learning Specialist Groups of the Political Studies Association of Ireland and the UCD School of Politics and International Relations.
Register here.
Should schools attempt to cultivate patriotism? If so, why? And what conception of patriotism should drive those efforts? Is patriotism essential to preserving national unity, sustaining vigorous commitment to just institutions, or motivating national service? Are the hazards of patriotism so great as to overshadow its potential benefits? Is there a genuinely virtuous form of patriotism that societies and schools should strive to cultivate?
Join Randall Curren, Professor of Philosophy and Education at the University of Rochester, for a panel discussion on these questions and more. Professor Curren is the co-author of Patriotic Education in a Global Age (with Charles Dorn, University of Chicago Press).
A reception will follow.
