Agents and Architects of Democracy

When: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 | 03:00 PM-04:00 PM
Where: UL 1125M (CTL conference room)

Webinar sponsored by the Center for Service and Learning and IUPUI’s American Democracy Project

 

 

Sponsored by AASCU's Democracy Project and cosponsored by AAC&U and other higher education associations committed to civic education, the webinar, Agents and Architects of Democracy: The Struggle for the Future of Higher Education will be held November 3 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) and will explore the history and future of civic agency as an organizing theme for higher education.

 

This program begins with a provocative question: How can higher education reverse the disturbing trends we see occurring—pressures for higher education to become increasingly a private good with students as customers, institutions as industries, and competitive success measured by how many are refused admission?

The webinar will be moderated by Harry C. Boyte, founder and co-director of the Center for Democracy and Citizenship now at Augsburg College, and a senior fellow at the Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota.
