As gthe blurb says, "Agency is not the same as activism. Civic agency is the capacity to work across differences on common problems and creation of common things including communities, and, broadly, democracy as a way of life... As Josiah Ober, the classical scholar, has shown, for the Greeks democracy did not mean voting. It meant the "collective strength and ability" to act in the public world. Developing civic agency is central to democracy schools. It is 'pedagogy of the empowered.'" This is what Yale provides students, and online learning doesn't. Yet.
