Fall 2010 not offered
|
This class examines civic engagement as both a theoretical perspective on citizen participation and an active practice. What is the relationship of the individual to the surrounding society? What does it mean to have a truly democratic society? What is the role of citizen participation, both within formal political activity and in civic society generally? Through case studies we examine the challenges and dilemmas of civic engagement. |
