Doing Civility: Breaking the Cycle of Incivility on the Campus, by Kent M. Weeks, encourages students, faculty, and staff to take proactive steps to become more civil. Civility involves extending mutual respect to others, especially people with different values, beliefs, and ideas. It also involves a civic responsibility to strengthen the community. Weeks notes that changing structures or policies can be an important first step, but only individuals, sometimes acting in a collective capacity, can mediate the conflicting passions of the moment. Doing Civility uses real-life stories involving students and faculty to illustrate how to overcome the complex societal norms that trigger incivility on campus. Each chapter also includes interactive tools and exercises to help readers personally engage the subject of civility.
