Missouri Humanities

This episode can best be described as “US Constitution 101.” Our guest is Dr. Silvana Siddali, professor of history at St. Louis University, and we’re diving into the foundational principles that have shaped the United States from its birth to its modern-day challenges. We’re going on a journey through the creation, evolution, and ongoing debates around the U.S. Constitution. So, grab your thinking caps—because this is a big one!

What is Missouri Humanities ?

For season 4 of the Missouri Humanities podcast, "Missouri Voices: Civics & Citizenry", our conversation will consider individual and collective roles in civic engagement and democratic participation as we examine the bold "American Experiment" of a government run by and for the people, a vision rooted in the Constitution of the United States. With our featured guests, we will look at sweeping social movements to cast ballots and engage in policy as we explore the complex history of American democracy and Missouri's enduring participation. Join us as we consider the role of civility in democracy and ask ourselves: What is the role of citizenry in our “American Experiment,” past, present, and future? How can we employ civics to build a “more perfect union?”
