Chronology of John Dewey'sLife and Work
The Center for Dewey Studies, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale
The following chronology, compiled by Barbara Levine, is a work in progress. Changes are made almost daily as Dewey's correspondence is transcribed and as additional information is gathered from other sources.
It is presented here not as definitive and final, then, but as an evolving research tool. It is our hope that its users will submit additions and corrections as appropriate, along with supporting verification or documentation, to Barbara Levine at blevine@siu.edu. The chronology will be updated periodically as new information is received and edited.
