Educating for Democracy: Preparing Undergraduates for Responsible Political Engagement

This book reports the results of the Political Engagement Project, a study of educational practices at the college level that prepare students for responsible democratic participation. In addition to presenting data, the authors discuss what it means to teach effectively for political learning without imposing particular ideologies on students, and offer guidelines for faculty and administrators who want to help their students become more fully engaged in political life.
