Abby Kiesa is part
of the research team at the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship &
Public Service at Tufts University. As Youth Coordinator & Researcher
at CIRCLE (Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning &
Engagement), a part of Tisch College, Abby serves as liaison to
practitioner organizations across the country to maintain a conversation
between research and practice. CIRCLE, focuses on young people in the
United States, especially those who are marginalized or disadvantaged in
political life. CIRCLE's scholarly research informs policy and practice for
healthier youth development and a better democracy. She also provides
leadership for CIRCLE's election strategies as well as communications, and
works on other research and evaluation projects, including two major
national studies: Millennials Talk Politics: A Study of College
Student Political Engagement and "That's Not
Democracy": How Out-of-School Youth Participate in Civic Life and What
Stands in Their Way. In addition to CIRCLE's youth engagement work,
Abby also engages in research related to Tisch College's civic renewal
efforts.
Previous to her work
at CIRCLE, Abby organized students across the country through Campus Compact
as part of a national campaign to increase youth involvement in public
life. Her writing on youth political engagement has been featured in
several publications and she co-edited the book Raise Your Voice: A
Student Guide to Making Positive Social Change.
Abby serves on the
board of the International Association for Research on
Service-Learning and Community Engagement and on the steering
committee of the American Democracy Project (an initiative
of AASCU).
