Back to Civic Engagement Experiences

The program will organize events featuring scholars who are also engaged in active citizenship related to their academic work, so that students can connect with those undertaking such interactions in the public sphere, and see the possibilities for bringing academic knowledge and commitments to bear on broader social and political problems and questions. By attending these events, you'll gain a greater understanding of how faculty work with/as citizens and activists outside the university to shape policy, increase understanding, and instigate positive change. You may also discover a role model who can serve as the basis of your required role model profile for your e-portfolio, or find an issue or approach that instigates or inspires your own efforts at civic engagement. Your reflections should discuss the links between the academic and community work that each event focus on, and consider how the civic engagement projects you learned about might provide a model or an idea for your own community engagement.

Roundtable/Event with Practitioner/Policymaker 1

Your reflection on the event should provide a brief overview of the event and the key concepts presented, discuss the link between the academic and community work that the event focused on, and consider how the civic engagement projects you learned about might provide a model or an idea for your own community engagement. The experience may help to prepare you for the e-portfolio project profiling an academic public humanities role model.
