I loved being the director of CIRCLE (The Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement) from 2008-15. Since I moved on from that role and Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg succeeded me, CIRCLE has more than doubled in size and resources and has strengthened its impact much more than that. CIRCLE is the leading source of data, insights, and recommendations about youth civic engagement in the USA.

Now Kei is moving on, in turn, and we are looking for her successor. I can testify that this is a job with a unique position at the intersection of several academic disciplines, youth movements, K-12 schools and higher education, elections, media, and philanthropy. The position is now endowed as the Newhouse Directorship, thanks to a generous gift from the Samuel I. Newhouse Foundation. The CIRCLE team is incredible and forms part of the vibrant communities of Tisch College and Tufts University. CIRCLE’s topic is crucial in this time of crisis and opportunity for US democracy.
