American Democracy and Citizenship is designed to offer students a fresh take on the motives, means, and opportunities for personal engagement in our political system. The book includes the basic information contained in traditional American government texts, but it also explores psychological, social, and media paths toward political engagement for the millennial generation.
Brian Robert Calfano (PhD, University of North Texas 2007) is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Missouri State University. He is the author of over twenty peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters on topics ranging from religion and politics, media influence on emotion, to candidate issue marketing. He is the Director of The Missouri State University Poll, and hosts a daily radio talk show in Springfield, Missouri. Dr. Calfano is also a regular contributor to television affiliates covering local and state politics. He uses these opportunities, first and foremost, to introduce students to the connections between media, elite influence, and perception on political behavior. American Democracy and Citizenship is the culmination of several years of work with beginning college students on their understanding of government, and the motives they have for taking control of their political identity.
