Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Matthew D. Nelsen, "The Color of Civics: Civic Education for a Multiracial Democracy" (Oxford UP, 2023)

Q: Can you discuss your findings regarding the impact of diverse perspectives in the historical content on different racial groups?

Diverse historical content significantly empowers Latino students to engage more politically, while African American students showed benefits in civic activism, but null findings were reported among Asian-American students.

Matthew D. Nelsen, "The Color of Civics: Civic Education for a Multiracial Democracy" (Oxford UP, 2023)

Q: What is the re-imagining of civic education that you advocate?

We need to reconsider the knowledge, skills, and behaviors we want students to develop, moving away from just voting intention to empowering students through broader forms of political action.

Matthew D. Nelsen, "The Color of Civics: Civic Education for a Multiracial Democracy" (Oxford UP, 2023)

Q: Can you talk a little bit about how we position and understand civic education happening in American schools?

Civic education often focuses on broader civic cultures rather than specific course content, which has historically been sidelined, but studies show content does matter, especially for marginalized students.

Jennifer Crane, "'Gifted Children' in Britain and the World: Elitism and Equality Since 1945" (Oxford UP, 2025)

Q: What are the consequences of the state formalizing the idea of a gifted child in the education system?

The formalization led to more cohesive national efforts to identify gifted children and linked this identification to broader social mobility agendas, raising questions about elitism.

Jennifer Crane, "'Gifted Children' in Britain and the World: Elitism and Equality Since 1945" (Oxford UP, 2025)

Q: Can you give a sense of what the category of gifted child is?

It's a flexible term that varies greatly, often referring to children who are considered more highly intelligent than their peers with subjective measures.
