First, over half of all students in America start their higher education in a community or technical college...Second, you neglect to address the real travesty in American higher education: the billions of tax dollars misspent to subsidize students to attend four-year schools, where these student pursue academic majors that offer little career opportunity following graduation. Inevitably, these students enroll in their local community college to develop skills relevant in the economy." |

Dr. Doyle Stevick publishes new book on Reimagining Civic Education |
Date Entered: |
Expire Date: |
Doyle Stevick, assistant professor of Educational Leadership and Policies, has published a new book, Reimagining Civic Education: How Diverse Societies Form Democratic Citizens, with co-editor Bradley Levinson of Indiana University. Bringing together a broad range of qualitative, anthropological and ethnographic researchers, this collection explores the many ways that notions of democracy and citizenship have been implemented in education policy, curriculum and classroom practice around the world. The volume includes contributions from new and reestablished democracies from Lithuania to South Africa and El Salvador to Indonesia. Dr. Stevick's chapter, "The Politics of the Holocaust in Estonia" demonstrates that the international effort to advance understanding about the Holocaust and to bring Nazi war criminals to justice simultaneously exacerbates the tensions between Estonia's ethnic Estonians and ethnic Russians, who generally fought on opposing sides during the Second World War. These tensions in turn complicate Estonia's task of crafting an inclusive civic identity that can include the Russian minority by transcending ethnic and linguistic boundaries. |
