WHAT: |
Collaboratory Symposium 2018, a day-long symposium in which academics and activists will take a deep-dive into questions around socially engaged learning, practice, and scholarship. They will answer questions such as:
- How do socially-engaged projects and pedagogy consider and incorporate social justice issues and methods?
- How can students be better prepared for engaged learning with external partners and communities?
- What institutional processes, structures and resources would better support strong community partnerships and enhance the social justice outcomes of engaged learning activities?
The Symposium is hosted by the Collaboratory, a New School network of faculty, students and community partners at the forefront of innovative approaches and practices to creating a more just, resilient, and equitable society. |
