From Naïve Nonparticipation to Transformative Civic Leadership: Toward a Model of Critical Civic Development

Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Sheraton, Floor: Fourth Level, Chicago VI&VII

Abstract

This paper builds upon current theorizing around critical and civic development and presents a working model for indexing critical and civic development together. The model describes various stages, which take into account an individual’s critical and civic development independently while also examining the interactions between the two. The theory building in this paper draws from two sources: 1) the current theorizing around critical and civic development and 2) data from a fifteen-month study of low-income Latino youth participating in sites aimed to foster critical civic development.
