CMEI Dialogue
Gutman Library, Harvard Graduate School of Education
April 21, 2016
Social media dramatically democratizes; how should civic education be reshaped for new forms of participation? What skills do young people need for negotiation, conflict management and the anxieties around public exposure of their values and partisanship? When is changing norms as important as changing laws? This panel addressed provocative and challenging issues related to civic media.
