The Center for John Dewey Studies at Southern Illinois University Carbondale was established as the central home for the works and study of philosopher/educator John Dewey. "By virtue of its publications and research, the Center has become the international focal point for research on Dewey's life and work."[1] Lewis E. Hahn founded the Center in 1961.[2] 37 volumes of the philosopher's complete works were completed by the center in the early 1990s.[3]
