Approaches to Involving Students in Community-Engaged Research

Looking for new ways to involve students in community-engaged research? Interested in possible approaches? Three MSU faculty members will share their experiences in guiding students to respectfully work with communities as collaborators on research projects, both in and outside of the classroom.

In this workshop, faculty members will:

1. share theoretical models and practical approaches used in their engaged research;
2. guide participants through a process to promote self-reflection throughout the engaged research process–mirroring the process used to support students who are involved in community-engaged research; and
3. support participants in the identification and planning for their own engaged research projects with students and community partners.

Workshop participants will come away with big picture ideas as well as practical strategies to use in mentoring students through the community-engaged research process.

Presenters:

• Tamara Butler, African-American and African Studies
• Vaughn Watson, Teacher Education
• Stephanie White, Community Sustainability

This is the second workshop in the Advances in Community-Engaged Research Series.
