Education and the Political: The Possibilities of Civic Education in an (Un)Democratic World

Sun, April 24, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Manchester Grand Hyatt, Floor: 3rd Level, Seaport Tower, Golden Hill B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Interrogating the (im)possibilities of educating students for political participation, papers in this symposium traverse diverse settings and topics in civic education: innovative civic learning through culturally relevant civics/media literacy, video production as embodied democratic education, paranoid thinking as civic reasoning among justifiably skeptic marginalized communities, teachers of color eschewing sanctioned “multiculturalism” in favor of racial justice, educators relinquishing traditional models of authority to better empower students, and a re-frame of schools that are too-often deemed excellent, yet offer a civic education that perpetuates White Supremacy rather than challenges it. Offering insights related to this year’s call, this panel focuses not only on the potential of making civic education more equitable but its potential to contribute toward a more equitable society.
