Making the Case for a Pedagogy of Civic Engagement, Antiextremism, and Antiracism: A Response to Forum Essays. Forum: Civic Engagement and Student Learning in 2021 and Beyond
Communication Education, v70 n4 p451-457 2021
America is deeply divided over issues like election fraud, COVID-19, and systematic racism. More concerning, Jenkins (2021) argues that the next few years could be marred by "death threats, attempted assassinations of political leaders, and other acts of terrorism" (para. 11). In addition, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (2020) report notes that white supremacist extremists now pose the most significant threat to America. Further, a Homeland Security Academic Advisory Council (2017) report urges the DHS to establish partnerships with universities to raise awareness of instructional strategies that counter extremism. All the forum essays point out communication is the vehicle for civic engagement and plays a crucial role in enhancing student civic involvement to stabilize and sustain democracy. In this article, the authors contend that communication educators must commit to pedagogies of antiracism, antiextremism, and prosocial civic engagement going forward.
