CERL Substack

Preparing young people to navigate the political world and become engaged in their communities has become increasingly complex. The Civic Education Research Lab (CERL) at Georgetown University conducts research that informs civic education and democratic practices. On our CERL Substack page, we share research, practical information, and resources on civic education and engagement. Our aim is to promote quality civic education for all and support a strong democracy.
