2023 Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement Meeting

Division/Group Events

Each year, the Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement brings together faculty, student affairs administrators, students,  senior campus leaders, and community partners to advance institutions' commitment to advancing democracy. This is the only event that convenes this diverse range of stakeholders to ensure that students who graduate from colleges and universities, both public and private, are prepared to be the informed, engaged citizens our communities and democracies need. 

This year's event will take place from May 31 - June 2, 2023 in Boston, Massachussetts. 

Participants will have opportunities to network and develop their civic-minded thinking and practices through engaging plenary sessions, informative general interest sessions, interactive workshops, and roundtable discussions. 

Use the hashtage #CLDE23 to connect with other attendees at the conference and see what everyone is talking about!

From Hyperlocal to Global Civic and Community Engagement

Details

A locally-rooted global movement is necessary to advance higher education civic and community engagement and create more just, sustainable, democratic societies. Participants will hear about efforts to build such a global movement, as well as learn from a few concrete examples of universities that are engaged in sustained, place-based, mutually beneficial partnerships with their local communities. Participants will be guided through individual reflection and small group discussion to think through how they could work with local, national, and global partners to advance such efforts across their own campuses.

Protests, Politics, and Participation: A Closer Look at Civic Engagement on HBCU Campuses

Details

The pandemic that gripped the world in the spring of 2020 directly impacted how institutions of higher education, HBCUs included, civically engaged students. Research conducted evaluated speech, activism, and civic engagement on the campuses of HBCUs, particularly during the social and racial unrest of the summer of 2020 and the polarizing general election in fall of 2020. Data collection and review activities were completed in June 2021 through March 2022 to (1) establish sociopolitical context, (2) understand HBCU institutional capacity, (3) identify strategies used for civic engagement, and (4) identify key findings.

Embracing Boston’s Black History Tour (Sponsored by Give Pulse)

Our afternoon will begin with a visit to The Embrace, the new sculpture honoring the time that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King spent in Boston, a city where they met while pursuing degrees at Boston University and the New England Conservatory. We will continue on to a guided tour of The Black Heritage Trail, a 1.6-mile trail of 14 sites throughout Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood.
