Community Engagement Course

Dr. Katherine Richardson Bruna is offering a new course for graduate students on community engagement.

EDUC 593 – Community-Engaged Scholarship and Social Change

W 1-4, June 22nd-August 5 with 2 additional
workshop days, to be arranged

Relationships between institutions of higher education and the
public reflect stances on knowledge, identity, and power. This course explores
historical and contemporary understandings of these relationships and examines
in what way these stances have changed and to what effect. Learners from all
disciplines will leave the course understanding the theoretical and
methodological dimensions of engaged scholarship, as well as its ethical
implications and impact indicators. These acquired understandings stand to
inform the learners’ design, delivery, and dissemination of future
community-engaged efforts and help chart a successful scholarly pathway aimed
at social transformation.
