The
Center for Media Education (CME) 2120 L Street, NW The Center for Media Education is
a national nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a quality electronic
media culture for children and youth, their families and the community.
CME's cutting-edge studies on the new-media marketplace have had major
impacts on a number of key public policy decisions during the past decade.
Its documentation of online marketing and data collection practices
targeted at children established the groundwork for the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). CME's Research and Public Education
Initiative on New Media, Children and Youth is designed to stimulate
research on digital media and serve as a clearinghouse of research and
policy developments for academics, industry, the public, and policymakers.
The organization's current research and public education project, "Youth
as eCitizens: The Internet and Youth Civic Engagement," will help
ensure that the Internet serves young people as a bridge to community
and civic engagement. That initiative is designed (1) to promote civic
content and services for youth in the new digital media, through a series
of reports that will assess the major economic, institutional, and technological
forces that are shaping the emerging new-media youth culture; (2) to
gauge the potential viability of a noncommercial "civic sector"
for youth in the new-media landscape; and (3) to define a public-policy
agenda for ensuring its growth and long-term sustainability.
Jesse Chanley, Jr. Work: I am a doctoral student in public administration at Arizona State University. I am beginning my doctoral research on civic education policy in Arizona. I am examining the causal factors that have led to the current state of civic education policy, using advocacy coalition framework and policy design theory as guides to the key causal variables. Key variables are 1) legislators' and school board members' attitudes toward citizenship and civic education; 2) interest groups participation in civic education policy; and 3) how the first two sets of factors have contributed to the level of support provided for civic education.

Civic Education Study Contact:
Judith Torney-Purta, International Steering Committee Chair The mission of this Center is to promote the dissemination of findings and advance research on civic knowledge and engagement based on the IEA Civic Education Study (conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, Amsterdam). This research study surveyed nationally representative samples consisting of 90,000 14-year-olds in 28 countries and 50,000 17-to 19-year-olds in 16 countries during 1999 and 2000. Questionnaires were administered to teachers and principals. The content domains covered in the instrument were identified through national case studies during 1996-1997 and include democracy, national identity, and social cohesion and diversity. The engagement of youth in civil society was also a focus.

Kennedy School of Government Harvard University 79 JFK St. Cambridge, MA 02138 Phone: 617-495-9343 Email: jane_mansbridge@harvard.edu I have been interested all my life in the possibilities for different forms of participatory democracy, in small town, neighborhoods, workplaces, associations (including "peak association" of workers and owners in different sectors of business). I have worked on town meetings, on workplaces, and on social movements. I have written recently on forms of descriptive representation. I am interested in "deliberative opinion polls," which bring representative samples of the public together to deliberate on public matters and in "living legitimacy" in non-liberal-democratic arenas. My current work, Everyday Feminism, shows how low-income, non-activist women engage in small struggles ("micronegotiations") for feminist ideas and practice in their everyday lives. Marin County
