We speak with Phil Roden about his long and varied career as an educator in the Chicago and Evanston, IL, public schools. We discuss his work in the Peace Corps, teaching in Nigeria, the inspiration he drew from the Civil Rights Movement, the “New Social Studies” movement, and “experiential” education; The DBQ Project and how its six-step method came about; the work he is doing now to promote education in the trades; and other topics.
Phil Roden is a co-founder of The DBQ Project and a pioneer of “experiential” education.
