An interdisciplinary seminar for college and university faculty on Citizenship in the American Polity, co-sponsored by the Association of American Colleges and Universities and the Aspen Institute, the seminar assists professors from colleges and universities to relate their teaching to broad issues of citizenship in America.

Professors benefit greatly from collaborating with colleagues at similar colleges, and universities to probe ideas and values that underlie their teaching.
