With increasing cross-partisan support for renewing civic learning in higher education, an important question emerges: how can colleges and universities create a framework for civic education that cultivates shared democratic values while honoring pluralism and diverse perspectives? This webinar will explore this challenge in depth, highlighting guiding principles and exemplary approaches for creating a shared vision of civic education suited to a pluralistic society.

The Alliance for Civics in the Academy hosts Out of Many, One: Creating a Pluralistic Framework for Civics in Higher Education with Paul Carrese, Jacob Levy, Minh Ly, and Brian Coyne on November 12, 2025, from 9:00-10:00 a.m. PT.

The Civics in the Academy webinar series features in-depth discussions on the practice, pedagogy, and state of civics in higher education. Drawing on the diverse expertise and perspectives within the Alliance network, each session features topics and panelists sourced directly from our membership. The series aims to foster dialogue, share practical knowledge and best practices, and contribute to a shared, pluralistic framework in the evolving field of civics in the academy.
