Description:

Explore the process of building community-engaged teaching and learning environments with experienced facilitators.

Registration is required! See link below.

Community engaged teaching offers powerful opportunities for mutually beneficial collaboration between university students and community organizations. Yet creating an enriching learning environment that meets the needs of everyone involved is a complex task that requires navigating institutional constraints, centering human relationships, and embracing risk. This event brings together experienced facilitators of community engaged teaching—Helen Cho (Asian American Studies), Liz McCabe (Chicago Field Studies), and Ashley Cheyemi McNeil (Full Spectrum Features)—to share their expertise and to speak from their own experience designing a course together. New and experienced instructors alike are invited to join us in community as we explore the ins and outs of this process, from building a sustainable partnership to managing a complex classroom environment. Moderated by Trish Bredar (Kaplan Humanities Institute).

Presented by the Public Humanities Graduate Practicum of the Kaplan Humanities Institute at Northwestern.
