Deweyan Democracy and Reconciliation in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
1 Though 2016 is a census year, data has only just recently been collected, and will not be updated until next year.http://www5.statcan.gc.ca/subject-sujet/result-resultat?pid=3867&id=-3867&lang=eng&type=CENSUSTBL&sortType=2&pageNum=2, accessed May 28, 2016. 2 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/attawapiskat-four-things-to-help-understand-thesuicidecrisis/article29583059/,accessed May 28.2016.inclusion is insufficiently theorized to provide justice-based solutions to social problems.Further, through analysis of my own examples, I argue that the characterization of inclusion as overly instrumental can actually create injustice, and that this is a failure of the theory to be adequately democratic.Finally, I suggest that while contemporary Deweyans have applied Deweyan democracy in ways that do not provide sufficient solutions for social and political problems, there may yet be resources in Deweyan democratic theory to be explored, specifically with regard to reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people within a democratic society.This project winds its way from a close-reading of Dewey's masterwork in political theory, The Public and its Problems, through to an examination of contemporary democratic theorists who employ Deweyan democratic inquiry in the service of political problem-solving, finishing with a convergence of Deweyan democratic theory with Indigenous self-determination and the potential for reconciliation.The goal of this work is to bring Deweyan democracy into dialogue with the urgent, contemporary crisis of injustice facing Canadian society with respect to the Indigenous people that live within its borders, and to open up new avenues for investigation that have as of yet received little attention from political philosophers working explicitly within a Deweyan tradition.In 2008, the Canadian government established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as one attempt to address the legacy of injustice caused by the residential school system.The Commission concluded in 2015.I argue that the findings of the TRC provide a substantial resource for political philosophers who work within the discourses of democracy and justice and, further, that there is work to be done by political philosophy in identifying, articulating, analyzing, and providing normative solutions to the problems of injustice created by the treatment of Indigenous people by the Canadian government.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
