Civic Engagement
FIELD RESEARCH
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Civic Engagement and the Mission Statement of SEU
• The University mission urges you to take action to solve problems
• You are required to take action supporting your position
Requirements
• Part of Your Final Oral Presentation
• It does not need to be particularly extensive or time consuming.
• It should be an action that connects your project with the problem
What you can do
• Attend a meeting of involved groups• Speak to a group• Attend a march• Circulate petitions• Volunteer• Write a letter- you must turn the letter and
stamped envelop into me so that I can mail it (verification)
What you cannot do
• Plan to take an action• Make a Donation- this
is too easy, and too effective
• Sign up for a Newsletter
• Anything else that does not consist of a concrete action
The Reality
• In politics, one person really cannot make a difference unless they are politically, socially, or economically important
• Grassroots is a euphemism for either “poor” or “unorganized”
• Money is the best form of political activity because it converts itself and it is identifiable
Understanding this…
• You should consider an activity that involves the greatest political impact
• Involves the least cost (direct, indirect, opportunity)
• Fulfills the requirements of the paper
Where to Go for help

others (reflection)
