Let’s Talk Teaching: Civic Engagement in Extraordinary Times

  • Author By Jim Gee
  • December 11, 2020
Keynote speaker on stage at the 2020 Symposium.
Explore the many facets of civic engagement in this preview of the 2021 University-Wide Teaching & Learning Symposium.

We talk a lot about civic engagement as a core value at Illinois State University. But what does it look like when practiced in our courses? We explore that question in this episode, a preview of the 2021 University-Wide Teaching & Learning Symposium: Civic Engagement in Extraordinary Times. Dr. Katy Strzepek and Harriet Steinbach from the Center for Civic Engagement join Dr. Dana Karraker and Jim Gee from the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology for an in-depth look at the ties between public higher education and engendering a life-long sense of civic learning in students.

The group highlights ways, both big and small, to incorporate civic engagement in classes. They also examine the lessons learned from a semester of teaching and activism during a tumultuous election season, the national spotlight on social justice, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, they preview the three “rock stars of civic engagement,” who will keynote the January 6, 2021 Symposium.
