Campbell F. Scribner Home People Campbell F. Scribner Assistant Professor of EducationPh.D.University of Wisconsin(2013) Department: Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership Division: EPLCurriculum Vitae: Curriculum VitaeEmail Address: cfscrib@umd.edu Research Interests Educational Policy and School Reform, History of Education, Philosophy of Education, Civic Education, Educational Law Bio I am a scholar of educational policy, history, and philosophy. Although my work covers a broad chronological range, all of it centers on conflicting notions of democracy in American schools. My books include The Fight for Local Control: Schools, Suburbs, and American Democracy (Cornell University Press, 2016), which examines the legal and political controversies around school district boundaries, and Spare the Rod: Punishment and the Moral Community of Schools (University of Chicago Press, 2021), in which Bryan Warnick and I examine the history and philosophy of school discipline. Other projects include the history of school vandalism, and the role of shame in civic education.
