Integrates theory and experiential learning to introduce core concepts and models of effective, equitable, and intentional engagement with communities beyond the campus. This community-engaged learning (CEL) course aims to deepen the perspectives and skills needed to apply a liberal arts education toward solving public problems in inclusive, democratic ways. Pass/fail only. No laboratory. Topic: A .5 credit half-block course that prepares juniors for community-engaged capstones or applied thesis projects their senior year. The course conceptually defines community-engaged research and capacity-building capstones; motivates such work as efforts to democratize knowledge and integrate knowledge and action toward community impact; covers ethics and best practices of working with, not for, community; and walks students through the steps of community-engaged thesis and capstone projects, with a focus on establishing partnerships and co-identifying a project that balances student interests and community needs. The course will include an opportunity for students to connect directly to possible community partners; as well as the opportunity to workshop ideas with peers. Open to any junior considering a community-engaged thesis or capstone project their senior year. Especially designed for Community Engaged Scholars who opt into the community-engaged learning concentration.
