“We are incredibly proud of our work with the Democracy and Public Policy Network at Bowling Green to engage our students, as well as the broader community, in relevant discussions and dialogue. As a nationally recognized leader in nonpartisan polling on American government and politics, the Democracy and Public Policy Network will also conduct routine polls to gauge public insight on topics related to the nation’s founding, heritage, and civic health. The findings will then be used to further develop lessons and resources within the learning communities, aiming to enhance civic literacy education. Founded in the fall of 2024, the Democracy and Public Policy Research Network at BGSU conducts nonpartisan research, polls, and policy briefs that educate and inform students, the larger community, and policymakers throughout Ohio and beyond. The network also provides BGSU students with real-world, hands-on experiential learning opportunities and creative activities, including faculty-guided research projects, podcast productions, speaking engagements, and workshops.
