PAST EVENTS

March 2025: CASAS co-sponsored an event with the Center for Research on Social Change (part of the Institute for the Study of Societal Issues), Latinx Research Center, and the Department of African American Studies, featuring Dr. Laurent Reyes’s work, which presents three new definitions of civic participation, derived directly from participants’ conceptualization and applied across their lived experiences. Definitions present civic participation as a responsibility of community belonging; as a religious/spiritual practice; and as a way of life. These definitions provide new perspectives by which to study civic participation and challenge current framing of helper and needy, altruism, the voluntary nature of participation, and the separation between social, political, and spiritual participation.
