Civic Engagement
SOC 268
Fall 2011 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.
