Muetterties, Carly C.; DiGiacomo, Daniela; New, Ryan – Democracy & Education, 2022
Many civic education initiatives have developed across the United States in order to help prepare students for civic engagement in school-based settings.

Heggart, Keith R.; Flowers, Rick – Democracy & Education, 2019
Recent surveys have indicated a worryingly low level of support for democracy among Australian youth and around the world. For example, in the 2017 Lowy Institute Poll, 36% of Australians indicated that, in some circumstances, a nondemocratic government is preferable. Such concerns, while hardly new, have triggered calls for more civic education…

Ruitenberg, Claudia W. – Democracy & Education, 2015
This essay proposes a conception of citizenship that highlights its political aspects. Based on the work of Balibar, Rancière, and Biesta, it is argued that democratic citizenship education must include the education of equality. This means that students must have the opportunity to experience not only the membership aspect of citizenship that…
