In both cases, traditional writing assignments were transformed to digital stories in order to increase student engagement, critical reflection, and media literacy, while still maintaining an overall emphasis on critical thinking and analysis, always important in the social sciences. The paper details the transformation of the two assignments to digital formats, presents survey data on the reception of the new assignments among students, and also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of these assignments in the college classroom. Overall, the assignments were well-received by students, and both professors felt the assignments realized all of the learning objectives. Critically, the assignments also contributed to an increase in digital literacy skills and a high level of student enthusiasm and satisfaction. Data indicates that the assignments were useful in generating early student engagement with political science and international relations majors and should be viewed as a possible tool to promote long-term student success and retention across diverse learning environments.","PeriodicalId":434223,"journal":{"name":"eJournal of Public Affairs","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131837186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the 2014 – 2015 academic year, University of Houston Downtown (UHD) Center for Public Deliberation (CPD) partnered with the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) at Lone Star College Kingwood (LSC-Kingwood) to capitalize on the city of Houston’s Citizenship Month and provide a shared civic experience for students. The CPD at UHD and the CCE at LSC-Kingwood worked together to carry out a series of community deliberative dialogues over the course of the academic year. In this study, we perform a qualitative analysis of student responses on four open-ended questions we administered at four of those deliberative forum events, including two on the mission of higher education, one on energy, and one on guns on campus. Our qualitative analysis is based on responses to 195 questionnaires administered to students on three subject-specific forums. Our analysis reveals that the forums influenced and changed the ways in which students had previously experienced or talked about politics. As such, academic institutions need to think more purposefully as to how we might embed these types of opportunities for students into their civic curriculum across the span of their education so that they have opportunities to build the skills needed to help citizens build a different type of politics that is able to address wicked problems in an effective and productive manner.","PeriodicalId":434223,"journal":{"name":"eJournal of Public Affairs","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127324502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Why Civic Leadership for Social Justice 为什么是社会正义的公民领导

eJournal of Public Affairs Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.21768/ejopa.v6i1.1

{"title":"Why Civic Leadership for Social Justice","authors":"","doi":"10.21768/ejopa.v6i1.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21768/ejopa.v6i1.1","url":null,"abstract":"Our world spins on tensions between aspirations for the common good – justice, equality, health, environmental sustainability – and present realities that reinforce systems of injustice, blind us to the needs of others, and even trap us in self-destructive cycles of inaction. The current political and social landscape has heightened our awareness of these tensions; for example, as a society we affirm the importance of accepting difference, but struggle to realize the potential of inclusion and equity in our individual, organizational, and systemic practices. Who is responsible for creating real and lasting social change? Often we turn to towards those in power and authority – our leaders in formal positions of power – to solve our problems. However, Chrislip and O’Malley (2013) suggest that “each of us shares directly in the problems and opportunities of civic life, so we bear some responsibility for making progress” (pp. 19-20). To engage in the activity of leadership is to “accept responsibility to create the conditions that enable others to achieve shared purpose in the face of uncertainty” (Ganz, 2010, p. 527). This shared purpose is a pursuit of the common good – an expanding circle of concern moving beyond self to families, organizations, communities, and society as we recognize our role and responsibility to uphold principles of human dignity, equality, and equity (Chrislip & O’Malley, 2013; Grace, 2011). To do so requires us to develop not only knowledge and skills, but also motivation and identity as leaders, scholar-practitioners, and educators who are committed to advancing claims of justice.","PeriodicalId":434223,"journal":{"name":"eJournal of Public Affairs","volume":"299 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128617269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
