2021-2022 Learning in Community Workshops

This interactive virtual workshop introduces principles and practices for thoughtfully engaging with communities, including motivations, impact of social identities, and strategies for engaging in reciprocal, ethical, and respectful ways.

This interactive virtual workshop will interrogate the role white supremacy often plays in university community engagement experiences and will explore anti-racist approaches to our work in and with communities. The workshop is designed for students with prior knowledge or experience with community engagement who are interested in learning more about how to practice anti-racism in their engaged course, service, project, or research.

Workshop content will build on basic concepts of race, racism, social identity, power, and privilege. If you're newer to those concepts and how they connect to community engagement, we encourage you to complete modules 1 and 2 of the Community Engagement: Collaborating for Change MOOC and/or attend our Entering, Engaging, and Exiting Communities workshop (see upcoming sessions on our homepage) before signing up for this offering. You may also want to read Tania Mitchell's (2008) “Traditional vs. Critical Service-Learning” before attending.

Evaluating community impact in community-engaged projects can be challenging. How can you effectively and efficiently measure impact? What kinds of impact matter? How can you get feedback on processes as well as outcomes?

Come join Jess Camp, Social Work Faculty, and Bri Christy, Ginsberg Center's Data & Program Evaluation Manager, for an informal discussion to share your tips and tricks and learn how others approach evaluating community impact!

While this session is designed for community-engaged faculty, staff, and GSIs who are supporting community-engaged projects, anyone is welcome!

Though much has changed in the past two years, the Ginsberg Center has continued to facilitate engagement opportunities between students, faculty and community partners, finding new ways to build connections between the university and the wider community in a time of shifting norms and expectations.

Join us for a lively discussion on reimagining community engagement in 2022, featuring LSA faculty from the arts, humanities, social sciences and STEM who offer a range of ways to connect their students’ learning with communities. The panelists will share first-hand examples of how they are navigating new realities like remote work while centering community priorities in their courses.
