S4 E1: How Do You "Do" Civics?

00:00
In our Season 4 premiere, we sit down with Dr. Jay Sexton, Director of the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democrazy at Mizzou. As we explore the theme of "Civics and Citizenry" throughout this year, Dr. Sexton will guide us through defining some of the ideas and terms we’ll encounter this year and set the stage to help us better understand the role of civics in our daily lives, how they connect to the humanities, and why this conversation is necessary now more than ever.


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?”
