Community-engaged teaching and rigorous scholarship are too often treated as separate pursuits. Two faculty in the Periclean network are proving that they belong together.
In August’s edition of The Periclean, we spotlight faculty expanding the intellectual foundations of civic learning.
Through innovative research, community partnerships, and cross-disciplinary inquiry, educators like Danielle Lake at Elon University and Adrienne Falcón at Metrostate University are demonstrating that civic learning belongs at the heart of higher education.
Also in this edition:
- Our Fall 2026 lineup of virtual workshops and community conversations
- Sanda Balaban’s essay, “Civic Prosperity at 250: From Sacred Honor to Shared Flourishing,” published in the Harvard Social Impact Review
- The launch of the Higher Education Democracy Exchange (HEDEX), fueled by Campus Compact and AAC&U and featuring Project Pericles’ Civic Engagement Resources Database
- Reflections from Citizen University’s Civic Collaboratory
- New thought leadership from across the Periclean network
- What our staff is reading this month
