In this discussion, Amy Shuffelton, a philosophy professor at Loyola University Chicago and author of "Collaboration: Philosophy of Education in Practice," explores the dual nature of collaboration. She highlights a creative program where kids build miniature towns, learning about community dynamics. Shuffelton contrasts youth perceptions of democracy, showing how historical context shapes these views. She also examines the delicate interplay of friendship and authority in collaborative efforts, advocating for a cosmopolitan approach to group dynamics.
