The Political Engagement Project
The Political Engagement Project (PEP) addresses the serious problem of political disengagement in young people and advocates a dramatic increase in college and university efforts to strengthen student interest in politics. The project documents the goals and pedagogies of 21 participating courses and programs, student perspectives on their experiences in them, and the impact of these experiences on key dimensions of political development such as knowledge and understanding, active involvement, sense of political efficacy and identity, and skills of democratic participation. Based on their work in the project, the leaders of PEP wrote a book entitled, Educating for Democracy: Preparing Undergraduates for Responsible Political Engagement, which was published in late 2007 by Jossey-Bass.
