Listen "Civic Engagement"
Episode Synopsis
You pay your taxes, you vote, and you follow the laws. Does that make you a good citizen? If you said yes, according to a 2019 Pew Center Research survey, most Americans agree with you. However, do these things make you civically engaged? This episode explores what it means to be a civically engaged social scientist and how we now need engaged researchers more than ever.Show NotesPhilip Cohen on social mediahttps://bsky.app/profile/philipncohen.comhttps://x.com/familyunequalCohen, Philip (2025).
