I am thrilled to be awarded the Educating for American Democracy Implementation grant! In collaboration with the University City School District in Missouri, I am working to co-design Grade 3 Social Studies Curriculum on MO History and Government. educatingforamericandemocracy.org/newsandevents/…

Thank you, @JITP_APSA! Young people are really good at raising their voices online, but how do they take it to the realm of influence for change? More specifically, how well do they do it? Many thanks to @DKPHarvard, too!

"Civic friendship" is such a hard concept to grasp in today's polarized times. In this essay, I attempt to provide some beginning points for it, using a historical example of Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Jane Addams. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…

Read Rep. @rosadelauro's statement on the passage of the omnibus bill, which more than triples existing funding for the National American History and Civics National Activities Program. bit.ly/3CQfa4g

"A better Electoral College requires a Congress as elastic and flexible as the drafters of the Constitution intended," says Professor @dsallentess in an analysis of the Constitution's connection to modern-day America. Read the full article here ⤵️ news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…

Yascha Mounk’s “The Great Experiment” and Justin Gest’s “Majority Minority” both examine increasing demographic diversity in the United States—and offer advice on how to build a more inclusive democracy. Read @dsallentess’s review of both titles. trib.al/e7kbZIe

Glad that my article about #JaneAddams finally came out. Addams was a social reformer, suffragist, sociologist, philanthropist, etc. Above all, she a great #civic educator, too. tandfonline.com/eprint/NTNSUCI…

🔔Just released🔔 2021 Civics Survey from @APPCPenn shows ➕increased civics knowledge ➕high school civics associated w knowledge Let’s dig into the data⤵️ annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/2021-annenberg…

NEW: What should a strong, equitable civic education that prepares *all* young people for democracy look like? Based on 20 years of CIRCLE research, and on the work of many other scholars and practitioners, we lay out some guiding principles: circle.tufts.edu/latest-researc…

NEW: We've just released estimates of 2020 youth voter turnout by race and gender. White youth continue voting at higher rates than youth of color—but the gap seems to be narrowing. And young women's voter turnout was 10 % points higher than young men's. circle.tufts.edu/latest-researc…

"An education focused not merely on technical skills, but also on participatory readiness, provides a distinct and better way to promote equality through schooling." — @dsallentess bostonreview.net/forum/danielle…
