The Silver Lining References"ReviewsLupia has spent his professional lifetime mastering the art,the science, in his hands, of education in the broadest sense. He has much to offer and does so supremely. Uninformed is not only an excellent guide to educating people about politics, but also an instruction manual in pedagogy more broadly. John Aldrich, Pfizer-Pratt University Professor of Political Science, Duke University Lupia presents solutions to improve the interaction and communication strategies of those who would seek to improve citizens' political knowledge... Science Why don't more voters come forward to support-or reject-new laws and regulations that would directly affect them? In his new book, lUninformed: Why People Seem to Know So Little About Politics and What We Can Do About It, political scientist Arthur Lupia argues that it's a matter of education.

Rather than focusing on how an environmental regulation might slightly change the temperature on a polar ice cap, for example, Lupia contends that journalists, teachers and advocates should explain how it will save a local elementary school from ending up underwater. Once voters are hooked on a big-picture concept, it's easier to get them engaged with the details of a law, rule or regulation-and take informed action to help it pass, fail or evolve. Time Magazine In Uninformed, Lupia provides sightlines for educators to ... add new voices of reason, inflections of passion, and perhaps, murmurs of compromise to our political discourse.
