Appraising Community in Engaged Scholarship

Registration Form Below

Friday, November 6, 2009, 9:30am-3:45pm
Lipman Room, Barrows Hall, UC, Berkeley Campus

The University of California, Berkeley and California Campus Compact will host a one-day colloquium to examine the meaning of community in engaged scholarship.

Specific attention will be given to: community-based participatory research models; how alternate spaces within and outside of the university connect to the intellectual focus of the university; and examples of best practices that promote the bridging of university civic engagement and outreach practices with research.

Colloquium speakers, panelists and participants will discuss interdisciplinary work, tenure and promotion, faculty as community members, measuring our impact, engaging undergraduates, and how CBPR strengthens scholarship. 

This colloquium is co-sponsored by UC Berkeley's Engaged Scholarship Initiative (BESI), The American Cultures Center, Cal Corps Public Service Center, and Division of Student Affairs, with generous support from California Campus Compact and The Corporation for National & Community Service, Learn and Serve America.
