Paul Mihailidis.
- 170 pages
Civic life today is mediated. Communities small and large are now using connective platforms to share information, engage in local issues, facilitate vibrant debate, and advocate for social causes. In this timely work, Paul Mihailidis explores the texture of daily engagement in civic life, and the resources - human, technological, and practical - that citizens employ when engaging in civic actions for positive social impact. In addition to examining the daily civic actions that are embedded in media and digital literacies and human connectedness, Mihailidis outlines a model for empowering young citizens to embrace lives of purposeful engagement in daily civic life.
