Book Synopsis
Disciplining Democracy reveals the political consequences for the triumph of service learning as the dominant pedagogical model of civic engagement in the modern American university. Volunteer-based civic engagement programs in higher education are popularly understood as curricular opportunities that enable young people to engage as citizens in campus and public life. But, as David S. Busch argues, these civic programs are also emblematic of a new political tradition in American higher educationa culture of disciplining democracythat polices the boundaries of appropriate forms of citizenship both for the student and for the university itself. Looking at seven different universities across two political eras, Busch unearths a common institutional trend: that student activists' demand for action education in the 1960sa demand that many believed would reimagine the political role of the universitywas reconstituted as university-sponsored volunteer programs by the 1980s.
