The Division of Social Sciences Fall 2024 Luncheon Seminar Series (Brown Bags) Presents:September 26th- 12-1pm in 27 Persson Hall AuditoriumJeremy Fortier (POSC)Visiting Assistant Professor of Political ScienceTitle: Why to Be a Civic ConstitutionalistDescription: This paper argues that "civic constitutionalism" constitutes a cohesive and challenging new body of scholarship that can contribute to a range of debates in public policy, political theory, and civic education. In particular, the paper argues that the civic constitutionalist framework can show scholars how to balance competing approaches to civic engagement. The first approach prioritizes working to improve policy outcomes (showing that democratic politics can produce concrete solutions to public policy problems, with benefits that are recognized by everyone impacted by those policies, irrespective of partisan affiliation). The second approach is focused on addressing cultural background conditions (cultivating a common world of shared habits and sensibilities, where unavoidable disagreements can be managed – but not definitely resolved – through meditating institutions, especially political parties). The paper contends that civic constitutionalism balances these imperatives in a way that draws on strengths of research from the social sciences (where disciplines such as Economics tend to focus on policy outcomes) with virtues of scholarship in the humanities (where disciplines such as Philosophy tend to focus on cultural background conditions). The paper also uses civic constitutionalism to assess recent proposals for civic education in post-secondary institutions, ranging from the Stanford Civics Initiative (a general education course requirement on citizenship, with a common syllabus for all first-year students at Stanford) to the new civics centers at public universities in several red states (e.g., the School of Civic Life and Leadership at UNC Chapel Hill).Lunch provided, while supplies last.The next talk in this series is on October 10th with Graham Hodges, George Dorland Langdon Jr. Professor of History. - 12:00 PM1hWhy to Be a Civic ConstitutionalistToday's Events | Persson Hall, 27 Auditorium- Ground Floor
