The agenda is still in development\u00a0but will include short plenary talks, concurrent sessions, and interactive activities for the large group. Among other whole-group activities, we will experience\u00a0Pre-Texts<\/a>\u00a0(\u201cpedagogical acupuncture\u201d)\u00a0and will use several new \u201cteaching cases\u201d to prompt intensive discussions in small groups. (Teaching cases are short narratives about real events that conclude at a moment when the protagonists must make a difficult choice.)\u00a0\u00a0
Frontiers will follow the American Political Science Association\u2019s\u00a0Institute for Civically Engaged Research<\/a>\u00a0and precede the\u00a0Summer Institute of Civic Studies<\/a>\u00a0and will convene members of those two programs plus about 100 others: activists and practitioners in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors; scholars, educators, students; and others. Participants will come from many countries and many streams of work related to democracy–social movements, community organizing, civic education, arts and media work, political reform, civil liberties, dialogue and deliberation, political theory, and more.
A major objective is to build relationships among people who work in diverse ways at the frontiers of democracy in the United States and around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
