Via Zoom (link to be sent to registered attendees closer to the date)
Our first session will feature a presentation from Samantha Blostein, a staff member and former course instructor who will discuss her approaches to course-based community partnerships which facilitate meaningful learning for students while enacting social change from a justice lens. We will begin with a faciltated conversation with Samantha who will highlight various dimensions of CETL partnerships created through a 3rd-year International Development course entitled "Engaging in Development Practice".
Following insights from our presenter, the group will engage in a broader discussion about enacting critical community engaged scholarship in the context of course-based partnerships using a justice lens.
