SPADY, AGENT OF CHANGE: AN ORAL HISTORY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PROGRAM IN HIGHER EDUCATION BY JOHN A. HADER CHICAGO, IL DECEMBER 2011 Copyright by John Hader, 2011 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my appreciation to Dr. Noah Sobe for guiding me through this project. I always wanted to write about William G. Spady and his impact on education, but he gave me the idea to let the subject tell his own complex story to the world as an oral history. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Erwin Epstein. I first heard of the African National Congress and their initiative, Curriculum 2005, based on the work of Spady in his course in comparative education.
