 How can teaching and learning connect “the rich resources of the university to our most pressing social, civic, and ethical problems?” ([Boyer, 1996](https://www.jstor.org/stable/3824459?typeAccessWorkflow=login)). Engaged Scholarship is a field that encompasses both teaching and research, integrating community and civic engagement into academics with a focus on equity, reflection, reciprocity, and community collaboration. This seminar provides an introduction to the principles, ethics, approaches, and practices of community-engaged and public-facing academic collaborations. Topics will include: developing students’ relational skills inside and outside the classroom; scaffolding and troubleshooting project-based learning; building community- and public-facing activities and assignments; and teaching reflection as a practice. This seminar is designed for TFs from any discipline who are interested in building relationships inside and outside of academia and in asking the question: What is a University’s responsibility to its surrounding communities?

 *This is the first session of a 6-session seminar. Registration required.*  
Registration opens January 8.
