Description:

Scholarly work that engages with communities beyond the academy raises ethical questions on both a theoretical and practical level. How can scholars in the humanities and humanistic social sciences foster meaningful, mutually beneficial community partnerships? Join us for a discussion with three experienced practitioners who will share their perspectives on the challenges and rewards of community-engaged scholarship. 

We’re excited to welcome in conversation Noa Michaela Fields (Public Programs Manager at the Poetry Foundation), Kantara Souffrant (Senior Director of Community Dialogue & Adult Programs at the Milwaukee Art Museum), and Michael Metzger (Pick-Laudati Academic Curator for Cinema and Media Arts at Northwestern's Block Museum of Art), with moderator Ruth Martin Curry (Program Administrator of Community-Engaged Teaching, Learning, and Research at Northwestern's Center for Civic Engagement). 

Free and open to the public!
