This interactive event will include stories of community engagement with Jesse, Lindsay, and Miguel, along with discussion time for participants to explore and re-imagine their community engagement work. Here is a brief description of the stories.
Jesse will include a discussion on approaches to community engagement that leverages resources and ties university, school district and others in the service of equity, access and education. What types of projects emerge from collaborative pedagogical communion?
Lindsay will share information about collaborations with afterschool youth development programs and community youth sport programs. She will also share how research findings and recommendations have been disseminated and used by these community collaborators.
Miguel will talk about the work of engagement is the spirit of his work and the space that brings his teaching and research to life. He sees this not as a project but as a relational process between culture, politic, and change. This work is not about outputs or accounting but about its impact on relationships, community change, and the development of sustainable communities and organizations. The idea of a public education system and pedagogy is a gift to a democratic society. This dynamic-critical process is what engagement in action looks like through his lens.
