Democracy as discussion: civic education and the American Forum Movement

摘要：

In highlighting the symbiotic relationship between these institutions, Keith seeks (1) to give the forum movement-long overlooked by academe-its rightful due, and (2) to provide valuable historical and philosophical contexts for present- day efforts to improve civic deliberations. The tensions eventually reached a boiling point, and in 1914, a group of speech educators formed the National Association of Academic Teachers of Public Speaking to express their grievances and lobby for independent departments.
