The New Education Fellowship, the Progressive Education Association, and the US Department of State: South America as part of a complex entanglement.
In 1943, a report sent to the executive board of the New Education Fellowship (NEF) informed the board that, during a trip to South America in 1942, Carleton Washburne had formed sections in Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Paraguay, and Brazil on the NEF's behalf. In some publications, Washburne mentions...

In some publications, Washburne mentions that it was a study trip commissioned by the US Department of State but does not refer to the NEF. These documents lead to different narratives when analysed separately, but they reveal unexpected connections when confronted together. In 1941, the NEF's Eighth International Conference was held in the USA in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The conference in the USA was a unique opportunity to strengthen the bonds with Latin American countries that, until that moment, had barely participated in NEF activities. However, the conference also coincided with the US political agenda related to the Good Neighbour policy. Some months later, Washburne started his trip to South America, which was commissioned by the Division of Cultural Relations, a division of the US Department of State. Between April and September 1942, he visited schools, met political authorities and renowned educators, and delivered lectures on the New Education. Based on Washburne's trip to South America, the following article explores how the New Education Fellowship, Progressive Education Association, and US Department of State were intertwined. Thus, using the vestiges and traces left in different documents such as correspondence, reports, magazines and newspapers, I explore the notion of networks while turning the scales of analysis towards a connected history. En 1943, un informe enviado a la junta ejecutiva de la New Education Fellowship (NEF) informó a la junta que, durante un viaje a Sudamérica en 1942, Carleton Washburne había formado secciones en Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Paraguay y Brasil en nombre de la NEF. En algunas publicaciones, Washburne menciona que fue un viaje de estudios encargado por el Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. Pero no hace referencia a la NEF. Estos documentos conducen a diferentes narrativas cuando se analizan por separado, pero revelan conexiones inesperadas cuando se confrontan juntos. En 1941, la Octava Conferencia Internacional de la NEF se celebró en los Estados Unidos en Ann Arbor, Michigan. La conferencia en Estados Unidos fue una oportunidad única para fortalecer los lazos con países latinoamericanos que, hasta ese momento, habían participado poco en las actividades de la NEF. Sin embargo, la conferencia también coincidió con la agenda política estadounidense relacionada con la política del Buen Vecino. Unos meses después, Washburne inició su viaje a Sudamérica, encargado por la División de Relaciones Culturales, una división del Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos. Entre abril y septiembre de 1942 visitó escuelas, se reunió con autoridades políticas y educadores de renombre e impartió conferencias sobre la Nueva Educación. Basado en el viaje de Washburne a Sudamérica, el siguiente artículo explora cómo la New Education Fellowship, la Progressive Education Association y el Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. se entrelazaron. Así, a partir de los vestigios y rastros dejados en diferentes documentos como correspondencia, informes, revistas y periódicos, exploro la noción de redes mientras dirijo las escalas de análisis hacia una historia conectada. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Paedagogica Historica is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
