L(iberalArts) ED(ucation) Lecture series presents:
Seven Democratic Virtues of Liberal Education: A Student-Inspired Agenda for Teaching Civic Virtues in European Universities
Wednesday, 29 March 2023 | 16:00 to 17:00 Brussels | Curtis Lecture Hall E, York University & virtually via Zoom
Virtual participants should register at: https://yorku.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_gMx4dHrGSJqPZ-k-SNJ4dg
In this presentation, Dr. Teun Dekker will argue that the liberal arts and sciences (LAS) model of education can inspire reform across higher education to help students acquire crucial civic virtues. Based on interviews with 59 students from LAS programmes across Europe, he will show how LAS education can develop a range of citizenship skills that are central to the democratic process. The interviews provide insight into how studying LAS prepares students for citizenship by asking them to reflect on their education, what it taught them, and how it did so. Building on these insights, seven key democratic competencies are identified and linked to concrete educational practices that foster them, leading to an agenda for higher education reform. This event is a part of the L(iberalArts) ED(ucation) Lecture series and is co-hosted by the York Centre for Asian Research. Visit here for more information.
