Participants will &#8220;examine the concept of &#8216;civil society&#8217; not just in contemporary Europe and North America but historically and in contexts across the world as well as across academic disciplines. We will seek not to define &#8216;civil society&#8217; but to identify the consequences &#8211; political, legal, social, moral, epistemological &#8211; of particular ways in which &#8216;civil&#8217; and &#8216;society&#8217; have been defined in different times and places.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The National School Climate Center is pleased to announce its 15th annual <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.schoolclimate.org\/programs\/si.php\">Summer Institute<\/a> <\/span>from July 10-13<sup>th<\/sup> in New York City.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People interested in various aspects of civic education and civic renewal have a whole range of summer institutes to consider in 2012.
