A new book, edited by Suzanne M. Chod, William J. Muck, and Stephen M. Caliendo, Technology and Civic Engagement in the College Classroom, explores how a variety of practices instructors employ in the college classroom can foster the civic engagement of their students.
Civic Education Project @ SIUe members Kenneth Moffett and Laurie Rice contribute a chapter on how taking college level political science courses boost civic engagement. Students engaged in these courses are more likely to engage in expressive activities like contacting government officials and join political groups, among other activities. Encouraging a college student to enroll in a political science course can have a positive impact on the student's civic and political activity.
