Civic Studies Initiative at Augsburg College

Beginning in the 2016-17 academic year, the Civic Studies Initiative, co-sponsored by the Sabo Center, CTL, and the Education Department, will acquaint the wider college and its community partners with the theory and practice of civic agency and its transdisciplinary field of Civic Studies.

The Civic Studies Initiative will include four symposia open to all faculty, staff, students, and the public. These symposia will introduce Civic Studies as presenting a different definition of citizen, citizen as co-creator, and what that implies. They will also explain how to integrate civic agency skills into courses and student activities; look at how the "democracy college" lens calls for rethinking assessment to emphasize cooperative excellence; and explore what "public scholarship" looks like with a Civic Studies lens. The first symposium will be held on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 8:00-9:30am.

Another aspect of the initiative will be the selection of Civic Studies Augsburg Fellows and Community Fellows. These will be chosen from a variety of disciplines and staff units as well as community partners, forming a learning community which will help organize the subsequent symposia, undertake more thorough study of Civic Studies, and develop projects for policy and culture change.

Learn more at the following link and stay tuned throughout the year for more details on upcoming symposia.
