the obvious need for a better understanding with the Moslem world, together
with some of the economic and technological issues that underlie the
Islamic hostility to the US. WE have recently opened a discussion with

My work includes research
on social movements, especially the anti-nuclear European peace movements,
and on political socialization in the United States. The latter has been
connected with the effects of a unique model of election simulations developed
in collaboration with teachers in New York City.
Founding member of NACE,
with overall responsibility for this Website. Philosopher and author of
four books, including The New Progressive Era (2000), which has a section
on civic education.
I have been interested all my life in the possibilities for different
forms of participatory democracy, in small town, neighborhoods, workplaces,
associations (including "peak association" of workers and owners in different
sectors of business). I have worked on town meetings, on workplaces, and
on social movements. I have written recently on forms of descriptive representation.
I am interested in "deliberative opinion polls," which bring representative
samples of the public together to deliberate on public matters and in
"living legitimacy" in non-liberal-democratic arenas. My current work,
Everyday Feminism, shows how low-income, non-activist women engage in
small struggles ("micronegotiations") for feminist ideas and practice
in their everyday lives.

Foundation Urban Leadership Program The RFULP is a certificate program
offered by Oglethorpe University. In addition to completing coursework
on urban and metropolitan issues and leadership, students are requirement

Pamela
S. Roach I am interested
in the role that education has in young people's political socialization.
My dissertation research examines the attitudes, perceptions, and political
knowledge of secondary social studies methods for students who will
become our future civic educators. Other interests include investigating
the influence of curriculum and instruction on political socialization. The Social
Studies Development Center conducts projects in civic education and
law-related education within the state of Indiana, nationally and internationally
in partnership with the Indiana State Bar Association. The ERIC Clearinghouse
for Social Studies/Social Science Education is funded by the U.S. Department
of Education and has been located since 1986 at the Social Studies Development
Center. The Clearinghouse collects and disseminates information on all
aspects of the social studies including civic education. The Clearinghouse
also publishes books and ERIC Digests; some of these publications pertain
to civic education, such as Education for Civic Engagement in Democracy:
Service Learning and Other Promising Practices, edited by Sheilah Mann
and John J. Patrick and published in 2000. Full texts of Digests on
topics in civic education can be found at our web site.
The mission of the Social
Science Education Consortium (SSEC) is to improve social science education
at all levels by promoting collaboration among social scientists and social
science educators. Among its recent projects are the "Educating for Citizenship"
annual conference in Colorado and the "Youth for Justice" national project.
Its publications include "Preparing Citizens: Linking Authentic Assessment
and Instruction in Civics/Law-Related Education."
St. Albans
School of Public Service will offer its students a course of study designed
to deepen their grasp of political theory, government, ethics, national
and global economics, and issue advocacy, and to build their leadership
skills. Students will be chosen on their academic preparation and commitment
to public service, not on their ability to pay. Leaders and practitioners
from government, business, non-profits, international organizations,
and media will work with students as instructors and mentors.
Kathleen Staudt, PhD
William J. Stepien I train
teachers in grades K-college to remodel portions of their existing curriculum
around real-world, ill-structured problems. Organizing instruction around
real problems, known as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), allows students
to simultaneously construct new knowledge and practice the skills needed
to become "expert" problem solvers. The use of PBL in civic education
produces highly engaged learners who effectively store what they learn
in long-term memory and are capable of (and interested in) transferring
new knowledge to real-world situations.
