"Kennedy presents a complex psychohistory that combines a range of social science and historical perspectives. This text is dense, but its complex arguments critically illuminate a type of schooling practice that, by fostering democratic sensibilities and practice, could be a useful engine for social and cultural change." CHOICE
"Childhood, Philosophy, and Dialogical Education is a visionary work that urges readers to rethink education fundamentally. By blending philosophical inquiry with democratic ideals, Kennedy offers a model of education that respects and values children's voices, challenging the instrumentalist view of schooling prevalent today By advocating for a philosophy of education that embraces the voices of children, Kennedy not only honors their potential but also presents a hopeful vision for the future of education. This book is essential reading for educators, philosophers, and anyone interested in the transformative power of dialogue in nurturing the next generation." Etemad Newspaper
"This work is rooted in a wide and important knowledge and understanding of historical ideas and in the existing literature on philosophy with children. There is a real sense in the text of both provocation and encouragement, such as the core focus on childhood as well as on utopianism. The ideas are examined philosophically in a mature, engaging, and accessible style, and the consistent thread of the dialogical also acts to ensure a cohesiveness to the overall text and arguments offered." Andrew Peterson, Professor of Character and Citizenship Education, Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues, University of Birmingham
"Kennedy is a leading expert in philosophy of childhood and dialogic education. This book represents an important addition to, and in some respects, update of his singular body of work." Maughn Rollins Gregory, Professor of Educational Foundations, Montclair State University
