Book Synopsis University Education, Controversy and Democratic Citizenship by : Nuraan Davids
Download or read book University Education, Controversy and Democratic Citizenship written by Nuraan Davids and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the role of the university in upholding democratic values for societal change. The chapters advocate for the moral virtue of democratic patriotism: the editors and contributors argue that universities, as institutions of higher learning, can encourage the creation of critical and patriotic citizens. The book suggests that non-violence, tolerance, and peaceful co-existence ought to manifest through pedagogical university actions on the basis of educators’ desire to cultivate reflectiveness, criticality, and deliberative inquiry in and through their academic programmes. In a way, universities can respond more positively to the violence on our campuses and in society if public and controversial issues were to be addressed through an education for democratic citizenship and human rights.

Book Synopsis Citizenship under Fire by : Sigal R. Ben-Porath
Download or read book Citizenship under Fire written by Sigal R. Ben-Porath and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-02 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizenship under Fire examines the relationship among civic education, the culture of war, and the quest for peace. Drawing on examples from Israel and the United States, Sigal Ben-Porath seeks to understand how ideas about citizenship change when a country is at war, and what educators can do to prevent some of the most harmful of these changes. Perhaps the most worrisome one, Ben-Porath contends, is a growing emphasis in schools and elsewhere on social conformity, on tendentious teaching of history, and on drawing stark distinctions between them and us. As she writes, "The varying characteristics of citizenship in times of war and peace add up to a distinction between belligerent citizenship, which is typical of democracies in wartime, and the liberal democratic citizenship that is characteristic of more peaceful democracies." Ben-Porath examines how various theories of education--principally peace education, feminist education, and multicultural education--speak to the distinctive challenges of wartime. She argues that none of these theories are satisfactory on their own theoretical terms or would translate easily into practice. In the final chapter, she lays out her own alternative theory--"expansive education"--which she believes holds out more promise of widening the circles of participation in schools, extending the scope of permissible debate, and diversifying the questions asked about the opinions voiced.

Book Synopsis Democratic Education in an Age of Difference by : Richard Guarasci
Download or read book Democratic Education in an Age of Difference written by Richard Guarasci and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1997-05-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, American campuses have become embroiled in debates and controversies over multiculturalism, curriculum, free speech, and other issues of social, ethnic, sexual, and racial differences. But out of this turbulence some exciting, innovative experiments have emerged to show students and academic leaders that there are promising maps to bridge acknowledged differences and to create a dynamic new unity behind the principles of democracy.Democratic Education in an Age of Difference details some of those experiments?among them learning communities, residential communities, and public service?and reveals how each approach fosters the development of democratic sensibility, citizenship skills, and multicultural fluency. The authors create a new vision of democracy and democratic education more suitable to a multicentric society.They address the need of colleges and universities to design educational experiences that promote the objectives of a free society while recognizing and embracing difference. And they include a valuable discussion of successful programs that raise issues of democratic sensibility, citizenship, and cultural diversity through sophisticated and promising programs. The in-depth analysis of these exemplary programs offers educators models that are adaptable to the wide variety of campus environments.
Book Synopsis Speaking of Politics by : Katy Jean Harriger
Download or read book Speaking of Politics written by Katy Jean Harriger and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, authors Katy J. Harriger and Jill J. McMillan follow the "Democracy Fellows," a group of 30 college students, during their 4 years at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to discover whether their experiences in learning and practicing deliberation might counteract the alienation from public life that has overtaken so many young Americans today. Their research design included classroom learning and practical experiences in organizing and conducting deliberative forums both on campus and in the Winston-Salem community. Observations gleaned from interviews, focus groups, and surveys of a comparison group and the larger student population indicate that, upon graduation, the Democracy Fellows had the skills and the interests needed to become more involved and responsible citizens than their fellow students. Harriger, professor of political science, and McMillan, professor emerita of communication, offer some prescriptions for how deliberative practices might be adopted at other institutions of higher education as at least one important antidote to political disaffection among young people. The book includes a foreword by David Mathews, president of the Kettering Foundation.
