Building Citizenship: Service-Learning And Student Learning, William D. Morgan
Thesis, Dissertations, Student Creative Activity, and Scholarship
Even the most casual observer of the American news media could walk away with the impression that there are hosts of negative trends, ranging from a drop in the percentage of people who vote, to an increase in political alienation. Some of these are the result of marketing efforts conducted by groups who have a vested interest in making things look worse, and some of this may be the result of the type of news that is covered, with the guiding philosophical perspective being "if it bleeds it leads." Nonetheless, these problems are real. As Jim Wallis (1994) notes, '''Things …

Civic Engagement
This article reports on the early lessons from a multiphase, multimethod study of youth civic engagement. It uses insights from expert discussions along with a series of focus groups to explore how young adults approach politics, volunteerism, community, civic duty, and generational identity. The study finds many of the distinguishing characteristics of today's youth to be subtle and nuanced, which poses unique challenges for qualitative research of the generation. The important implications of language are discussed in detail.

[Review Of] Nina Glick Schiller And Georges Eugene Fouron. Georges Woke Up Laughing: Long Distance Nationalism And The Search For Home, Jana Evans Braziel
Ethnic Studies Review
In Georges Woke Up Laughing: Long-Distance Nationalism and the Search for Home, Nina Glick Schiller and Georges Eugene Fouron theorize new ways of thinking about nationality and citizenship within a global context, focusing on Haiti and its diaspora. The authors discuss recent debates about transnationalism and the changing notions of citizenship across national boundaries and further research on the subject by Michel Laguerre, Rainer Bauböck, Aihwa Ong, Glick Schiller, Linda Basch, and Cristina Szanton Blanc. It is evident that the nature of their work necessitates a subjective methodology, and this becomes part of the book's analyses. Combining autobiography with ethnographic …
