How do we best educate citizens of a democracy? The question has challenged philosophers from ancient Greece to the present and continues to affect students, lawmakers, and educators. This course will engage students in their own learning by asking them to critique the concept of education and its assumptions about citizenship. In addition to writing argumentative essays and online journal reflections on their educational experiences, each student will create a short documentary film on questions raised in the course. <\/span><\/div>\n
