As I prepare to take a 2-week winter break from blogging, I’ll post the video of me, Jane Mansbridge and Marshall Ganz of the Harvard Kennedy School, and Jenny Sazama, Director & Co-Founder of Youth on Board, talking about my book We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For in a discussion moderated by Meira Levinson (Harvard Grad School of Ed). The event was a CMEI Colloquium/Gutman Library Distinguished Author Event last October 21.

The post author’s colloquium on We are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For appeared first on Peter Levine.

Here is the very first session of Frontiers of Democracy 2014. I open the conference with a statement about the civic renewal movement and then the Dean of the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship & Public Service, Alan Solomont, lays out his vision for the College.

I enjoyed a conversation yesterday on Minnesota Public Radio with host Kerri Miller, my fellow guest Ron Fournier, and many callers, mostly young adults. The topic was billed as “Can the parties motivate young voters to turn out for midterm elections?,” but the discussion was actually much broader than that. It was about the generation’s engagement with politics, civil society, the news, and social entrepreneurship. The audio is here.
