Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: Presenters: Donald W. Harward, Ph.D, President Emeritus, Bates College; and Senior Fellow, Association of American Colleges and Universities Brian M. Harward, Ph.D, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville This presentation will provide a context for considering whether the uses of engaged forms of learning (including service learning, community-based research, and other expressions of civic learning) could be part of a preventative or intervention strategy to address abusive uses of alcohol and drugs and the many prevalent forms of depression among college-age students. Recent work sponsored by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) with support from the Engelhard Foundation of New York has revealed that the civic dimension of liberal learning has the potential to affect the quality of the life of a student�and by extension that of society as a whole. Over 30 colleges and universities across the country have contributed to this conversation. Many of the campus-based civic engagement emphases have found expression in the curricula of political science departments. This presentation will explore ways political science faculty may contribute to these efforts. The working hypothesis of this effort is that liberal learning, and its civic dimension, may be relevant to the actual lives of students�that ideas may relate to action; that theory could connect to practice; and that political science faculty have a special role in helping students make those connections. Our presentation will encourage participants to consider the political science course as an occasion to link the liberal arts with the development of the habits, dispositions, and patterns of choice that are relevant to healthy and productive lives. Information on the Bringing Theory to Practice project and supporting research will be made available to participants. In addition, we will provide �best practices� and model programs in political science for those interested.
