Explorations in Community Engaged Pedagogy: a Panel Presentation
More Details
Community engaged pedagogy is a high-impact practice that incorporates community engagement into coursework. Emphasizing collaboration and reciprocity with community partners, this teaching practice helps students recognize their learning as purposeful and beneficial not only to their academic development but also to the communities MTSU serves.
In this panel presentation, three participants in last year's community engaged pedagogies faculty working group will share how they weave opportunities for students to connect with the community into their teaching.
Come learn about how these colleagues are partnering with community members and to consider how community engaged pedagogies can guide your students toward becoming academic citizens* who take their learning beyond the classroom.
Panelists:
Karen Davis, Associate Professor of Speech Language Pathology in the Department of Health and Human Performance
Kate Goodwin, Associate Professor of Theatre in the Department of Theatre and Dance
Andrea Rego, Senior Instructor of Horse Science in the School of Agriculture
*In Public Writing for Social Change, Writing Studies scholar Ashley Holmes defines an academic citizen as "someone who takes the writing and research we do in college and puts it to practical and civic use in our communities in the hopes of contributing toward positive social change."
