Micro, Meso, and Macro: A Multilevel Approach to Civic Engagement in the Communication Classroom
Lucas, Melissa A.; Anderson, Lindsey B.; Gray, Katlin
Communication Teacher, v36 n4 p330-344 2022
Incorporating civic engagement in the undergraduate curriculum has become a goal in higher education generally and the communication discipline specifically. Given this emerging priority, we offer a framework that integrates civic engagement in the communication classroom and meets students and instructors needs, experience, and goals. Drawing on a case study of a large multi-section course, we detail three levels of civic engagement integration: micro, meso, and macro. This multileveled approach to civic engagement provides varied opportunities for students and instructors alike to learn how communication concepts can be applied in order to address social issues and advocate for change.
