Engaged scholarship integrates civic and community engagement into undergraduate education through an emphasis on civic purpose—an intention to contribute to the world beyond the self. How can you teach content to encourage consideration of ethics? How can your pedagogy help students learn to responsibly apply their knowledge to real-world situations? In this session, we will explore the foundational principles of engaged scholarship alongside a set of concrete strategies for building civic purpose into the classroom—from nurturing an intellectual community that allows for vulnerability, to creating conditions for learning such that all students can see themselves and their futures in your material. This session is open to PhD students across disciplines, and strongly encouraged for TFs and TAs working with courses in the Mindich Program in Engaged Scholarship.

This workshop is being offered as part of Winter Teaching Week and is designed for GSAS PhD students and others at similar career stages engaged in the teaching of Harvard College undergraduates. Pre-registration is required.
