Live Webinar: A Conversation with Paul Carrese on Schools of Civic Thought
How Civics Can Remedy Higher Education's Decline
Thursday, February 22, 2024
3:00 - 4:00 PM EST
Cost: Free
Location: Virtual Webinar
Schools of Civic Thought are state-funded, independently governed schools, centers, and departments that are focused on high-level civic education in the liberal arts tradition.
This national reform movement, launched by SCETL at Arizona State University, is quickly spreading around the country. New departments, colleges, and centers of civic thought and leadership have now been established in public universities in eight states — Arizona, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.
Now, these programs are bringing an influx of new academic jobs to previously disappearing fields, reintroducing lost college courses, and improving K-12 civics education in their respective states.
Join us on February 22 for a conversation with Paul Carrese to discuss the future of this growing movement.
