TL;DR: This paper surveyed 58 teacher education students at a Christian university to discover the connections they foresaw between their teaching practices and their faith or worldview, and found that the major way students saw the two connecting involved the teaching or moral virtue.
Abstract: In their quest for universally applicable methods, modern teacher educators have often downplayed teacher identity, including a teacher’s worldview or faith. From a postmodern perspective, however, the connections between teachers’ identities and practices are being recognized and explored more as the two elements are increasingly being seen as interdependent and virtually inseparable. To explore how students understand this connection, the authors surveyed 58 teacher education students at a Christian university to discover the connections they foresaw between their teaching practices and their faith or worldview. The authors found that while most students did not perceive their faith or worldview directly informing their pedagogical methods or curriculum, the majority of them did foresee indirect ways of integrating their faith or worldview in the classroom. The major way students saw the two connecting involved the teaching or moral virtue. The authors make suggestions as to how teacher educators can develop these connections by educating students about constitutionally appropriate ways to integrate the study of religion and character education in public schools.

...Still, it is not at all apparent the degree to which participation in the public life of a liberal democracy requires that we surrender our deepest beliefs and our identities associated with those beliefs when we enter the public world (Audi & Wolterstorff, 1997; Rawls, 1996; Stout, 2004)....

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of religious minority women under legal pluralism and patriarchy is discussed, and a theoretical framework for a feminist theory of legal plurality is proposed, which is based on the principle of legal equality of women.

TL;DR: This paper argued that although cultural diversity has some benefits, liberal feminism should not be deterred from promoting autonomy and equality for women by encouraging the alteration of practices that harm their interests, and argued that a liberal feminist approach to the education of women and girls would necessarily be a form of comprehensive liberalism.
Abstract: Liberal feminism, like liberal political theory in general, is sometimes criticized for overemphasizing equality and the promotion of autonomy at the expense of valuing diversity. Some might thus see an approach to difference in education that is based on liberal feminism as a threat to cultural diversity. This article argues that although cultural diversity has some benefits, liberal feminism should not be deterred from promoting autonomy and equality for women by encouraging the alteration of practices that harm their interests. Siding with Susan Moller Okin's liberal feminism in Is Multiculturalism Bad for Women? the contrast between comprehensive and political liberalism in recent work by Okin and by Martha Nussbaum is explored. It is claimed that a liberal feminist approach to the education of women and girls would necessarily be a form of comprehensive liberalism.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that where animals are excluded from theories of justice, as in the work of Rawls, the relationship between liberalism and the protection of animal interests becomes problematic.
Abstract: Those scholars who have sought to argue for a higher moral status for animals, including the granting of rights to them, have come primarily from the liberal tradition. Their accounts are persuasive, albeit practically unrealistic. Animals can be incorporated into a liberal theory of justice whether they are inferior morally to humans or regarded as their moral equivalents. This article argues that where animals are excluded from theories of justice, as in the work of Rawls, the relationship between liberalism and the protection of animal interests becomes problematic. In theoretical terms, the influential emphasis within liberal thought on moral pluralism, whereby society or the state are prevented from intervening in what is regarded as the private realm, is clearly inimical to the protection of animal interests. Even more significant is the fact that the practical utilization of this moral pluralism in liberal democracies is detrimental to the welfare of animals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore an important concept in the work of the later Rawls, the idea of the reasonable, and conclude that this concept helps to bridge the gap between liberal theory and democratic practice.
Abstract: This paper aims to explore an important concept in the work of the later Rawls: the idea of the reasonable. While the concept has its roots in both Aristotle and Kant, Rawls develops a unique account of the reasonable in the light of his theory of political liberalism. The paper includes Rawlsian responses to the practical challenges of radical democrats on the one hand, and epistemological challenges to the reasonable on the other. It concludes that Rawls’s account of the reasonable helps to bridge the gap between liberal theory and democratic practice.

TL;DR: The notion of deliberative democracy was coined by Bessette, who explicitly coined it to oppose the elitist or "aristocratic" interpretation of the American Constitution.
Abstract: roposed as a reformist and sometimes even as a radical political ideal,deliberative democracy begins with the critique of the standard practices ofliberal democracy. Although the idea can be traced to Dewey and Arendt andthen further back to Rousseau and even Aristotle, in its recent incarnation theterm stems from Joseph Bessette, who explicitly coined it to oppose the elitist or‘‘aristocratic’’ interpretation of the American Constitution.

TL;DR: This article propose an anaysis of gender that is broad enough to house the full range of feminist concerns, those central to the old socialist-feminism as well as identity-based conceptions.
Abstract: In the course of the last 30 years, feminist theories of gender have shifted from quasi-Marxist, labor-centered conceptions to putatively ‘post-Marxist’ culture-and identity-based conceptions. Reflecting a broader political move from redistribution to recognition, this shift has been double edged. On the one hand, it has broadened feminist politics to encompass legitimate issues of representation, identity and difference. Yet, in the context of an ascendant neoliberalism, feminist struggles for recognition may be serving less to enrich struggles for redistribution than to displace the latter. Thus, instead of arriving at a broader, richer paradigm that could encompass both redistribution and recognition, feminists appear to have traded one truncated paradigm for another – a truncated economism for a truncated culturalism. This article aims to resist that trend. I propose an anaysis of gender that is broad enough to house the full range of feminist concerns, those central to the old socialist-feminism as w...
