This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
This course enables students to learn the theory and practice of community-engaged scholarship while engaging in a small partnership project with a community organization. Engaged scholarship is understood as mutually beneficial learning partnerships between higher education institutions and community entities addressing pressing social and civic issues.
Through brief readings, class discussions, and meetings with community partners, students will learn the history and context of engaged scholarship, explore the ethical, political, and cultural issues associated with this work, and improve their understanding of the Berkshires and town/gown relations. Through their project work, students will learn how to navigate the simultaneous challenges of engaging as learners, collaborators, knowledge co-creators, and social change agents.
