Welcome\u00a0to CIRAL!<\/h2>\n

This site is \u00a0for students in\u00a0the Global Hunt for Civic Intelligence program for 12 credits, \u00a0for students who are registered for the Undergraduate Research in Civic Intelligence, and anybody who’s interested in collaborative, student-led, project work. See\u00a0How Civic Intelligence Can Teach What it Means to be a Citizen<\/a> \u00a0for an op-ed on CIRAL and Civic Intelligence in education.<\/p>\n

Come to Our Spring Symposium! \u00a0June 3, 2017<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The Civic Intelligence Research and Action Laboratory (CIRAL) at the Evergreen State College<\/h2>\n

The goal of the CIRAL is to create a sustaining enterprise at Evergreen (whether it be through programs, classes, organizations, research options, internships, contracts, or some combination) that engages in research and action through a focus on civic intelligence. Due to the nature of this focus students will necessarily become active leaders. The enterprise will encourage and teach social action for the betterment of not just our community, but those around the world. The work will not be restricted to working with local organizations, but \u2014 at least at the onset \u2014 there will probably be a focus on the local community. The hope is that CIRAL, which was initiated in the fall of 2011, will persist over time, perhaps somewhere between 5-10 years, although the ideal is an indefinite end. The Evergreen State College is a progressive, experimental college in the Pacific Northwest. It strives to integrate theory and practice and to a large degree student-directed learning. Through its interdisciplinary programs and independent learning contracts \u2014\u00a0and its narrative approach to evaluation (no grades) and absence of required classes Evergreen stands nearly alone in terms of not embracing the standard format while not reducing disciplined thinking and learning. Evergreen has been remarkably successful in student engagement as well as in the percentage of students who find employment after leaving Evergreen.<\/p>\n

Meeting Times<\/h2>\n

This course meets on Wednesday afternoons from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm in Seminar II, B-1107<\/p>\n
