More than a century ago, John Dewey challenged the education community to look at civic involvement for the betterment of both community and campus. Today, the challenge remains. In this text, editor Thomas Ehrlich has collected essays from national leaders who have focused on civic responsibility and higher education. The book imparts both philosophy and working examples with the aim of providing the inspiration for innovative new programmes in this essential area of learning. The essays should be of interest to anyone troubled about American democracy and its future, as well as about the future of higher education in the country. The authors have written with particular attention to college and university faculty and administrators about what they can do to educate their own students to be responsible citizens. The essays also provide insights on how campuses themselves can be engaged citizens of their communities. But the volume is also written for a larger audience of those concerned about how to reverse the decline of civic engagement in the USA. The authors not only diagnose the reasons why higher education has been primarily on the sidelines during this decline, but also propose concrete steps to change that reality.
