• W289679915 abstract "How does a university prepare students to take active roles in democracy-roles beyond ballot box-as engaged citizens who help frame both issues and solutions in communities, nation, and world? The question is an important one, especially given Robert Putnam's thesis that Americans are no longer participating in kind of vibrant civic life that is critical to success of a democratic republic (2000). To counter erosion of what Putnam calls social capital, universities have a responsibility to provide students with an education in active democratic citizenship. The University of South Dakota (USD) and its department of political science has worked to accomplish this through creation of civic space outside of classroom, utilization of course learning objectives, and promotion of a culture of civic engagement among faculty members in department. Together, these efforts contribute to a more vibrant civic life among students, faculty, and members of community at large. CREATING CIVIC SPACE The concepts of civic space refers to places-social, physical, or even virtual-in which members of a community can come together and share in public. At USD, creation of civic space is a key strategy in our efforts to provide students with an education in democratic citizenship and includes efforts to develop and support organizations, courses, processes, and a culture that contribute to development of engaged citizens. Several student organizations take responsibility for engaging students in ideas about democracy. One such example is Political Science League (PSL), an engaged student organization that has hosted numerous public forums, and facilitates these discussions in a nonpartisan fashion. PSL forums typically receive strong attendance from USD students, faculty, and community members alike. Beyond these facilitated forums, PSL has a speaker series, a policy think tank, and actively participates in a broad set of campus functions developed by other organizations/institutions in community. Its Thursdays at Four discussion group invites campus community to informally discuss a difficult public issue with faculty and students for an hour, one afternoon a week. PSL was started more than fifty years ago by W. O. (Doc) Farber, who strongly believed in developing the background to know, vision to see, will to do. Farber's legacy in department of political science and for PSL advances his belief that keys to a happy and productive life are participation, involvement and concern for others. With this, PSLs goal is to present information to students and community in a way that creates active discussion, and allows individual ideas and opinions to be formed and then questioned. The PSL does this through its many activities, all of which build a foundation for rational decisions of citizens and scholars alike. Another key component of USD s strategy for promoting civic engagement is active support of two campus political party organizations, College Democrats and College Republicans. For example, College Democrats are encouraged by political science faculty mentors to maintain a close relationship with county Democratic committee by providing needed labor for annual events and elections, as well as through facilitating recruitment of students for campaigns by inviting candidates and leaders to campus. Students trade labor for free admission to state party events and created a statewide federation of College Democrats to coordinate statewide events. In nonelection years, College Democrats take initiative to educate campus at large on a series of issues, including American health care system and Iraq War, by sponsoring related films, discussions, and events. Similarly, College Republicans at USD routinely engage in events and activities that have effect of promoting political engagement among our students, such as maintenance of a College Republican daily political blog. …" @default.
