Universities challenged on teaching democracy without history
Original: Can HE institutions teach democracy without history?
A debate is under way over whether higher education institutions can credibly teach democracy to students while history is being marginalised in curricula. Commentators argue that democratic education requires historical understanding, and question whether universities that trim history programmes can still deliver meaningful civics. The discussion touches on wider concerns about the erosion of humanities funding and political pressures on academic freedom worldwide.
Why now: Concerns about cuts to history and humanities programmes have reignited debate over how universities should educate citizens for democracy.
