Expanding civic education through research
The vision of the Sandra Day O'Connor Institute for American Democracy is to create a space where important policy decisions affecting our future are made through a process of civil discussion, critical analysis of facts, and informed participation of all citizens.
Through our original research we endeavor to add to the store of facts related to civil discourse, civic engagement, and civics education. In this way, the Institute not only disseminates knowledge but also helps create it. With coverage in outlets like Education Week, the Chicago Tribune, and Arizona PBS, our research is continuing to contribute to the national conversation about civics. We invite you to read the latest research and coverage below.
