For over a decade, David Busch has worked as an educator and program administrator in both academic and public settings. He now teaches at Cuyahoga Community College (Cleveland, Ohio), where he directs a summer humanities program.

We spoke to David about why the conventional wisdom that universities are hotbeds of political transformation is in fact wrong, why universities actually discourage political activism in favor of volunteering and service learning, and some promising new models for promoting engaged citizenship that could better serve students, universities, and our democracy as well.
