What needs to happen to empower the
student to feel part and to be an active part of
his or her society?What need you to learn and
must you be able to do- and feel- to contribute
to societal learning? What are the skills of
civic and political participation, and where do
they appear in the curriculum of higher
education? It will be necessary to keep asking
these questions to sustain a relevant and
effective lifelong curriculum.Chris Dukes,
