About

Joseph Kahne is a National Civics Fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Ted and Jo Dutton Presidential Professor for Education Policy and Politics and director of the Civic Engagement Research Group (CERG) at the University of California, Riverside. Professor Kahne's research focuses on the influence of school practices and digital media on youth civic and political development. For example, Kahne and CERG are currently studying the Roadmap to Educating for American Democracy. This work takes place through a partnership with reformers and school districts in NM, OK, and LA. He is also partnering with David Campbell (Notre Dame) and David Kidd (Harvard) on a project to develop new measures of desired civic outcomes. In addition to studying the impact of these curricular experiences on young people’s civic development with John Rogers (UCLA), he is currently devoting particular attention to the politics of democratic education. He is examining ways the political contexts of school districts shape possibilities for democratic education and the varied ways educators respond.

Professor Kahne was chair of the MacArthur Foundation’s Research Network on Youth and Participatory Politics. Kahne was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Commission on the Practice of Democratic Citizenship. He currently chairs the Educating for American Democracy Research Task Force. Professor Kahne is a member of the National Academy of Education and a fellow of the American Educational Research Association.
