Civic Learning through a Lens of Racial Equity
Gene Corbin; Christina Santana; William Cortezia; John Reif
Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning, v29 n2 p40-57 2023
This article argues that current approaches to civic learning tend to normalize Whiteness. It describes how a team in Massachusetts developed a framework for civic learning through a lens of racial equity and provided professional development opportunities based on this framework. Civic learning for a multiracial democracy cannot be done in a manner that fails to embrace the cultural wealth and lived experiences of all students. The approach described in this article offers an alternative way of thinking about civic learning that can inform other efforts or be replicated in other locations.
