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.
