Lindsey Cormack's book, How to Raise a Citizen (And Why It's Up to You to Do It), speaks directly to an America in which civic knowledge is alarmingly sparse and many people avoid politics.
From the importance of civil discourse to the foundational principles of democracy and the significance of documents like the Constitution, Professor Cormack demystifies complex topics with clarity and insight.
How to Raise a Citizen is a roadmap to a future where political dialogue and civic engagement are not just encouraged but celebrated in our homes. With actionable advice and easy-to-understand explanations, it empowers families to instill a sense of civic responsibility and curiosity in the young minds they influence.
Lindsey Cormack, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Diplomacy Lab at the Stevens Institute of Technology. She earned her PhD in Government from New York University, and is the proud mom of a daughter.
