Sponsored by: Center for Service-Learning and Civic Engagement, University Outreach and Engagement, Academic Advancement Network Attention: Faculty, Academic Staff, and Graduate Students RIPPLE EFFECT MAPPING: DOCUMENTING IMPACTS IN COMMUNITIES Friday, Feb 17, 2017 Frustrated with evaluation approaches that don’t quite capture all of the “ripples” of your community work? Looking for a new way to engage participants and stakeholders in your evaluation? This workshop might be for you. Ripple mapping uses elements of asset mapping, radiant thinking, appreciative inquiry, and qualitative data analysis to reflect upon and visually map intended and unintended consequences of community-based programs and collaborations. Its strength comes from engaging participants and stakeholders to identify and document multiple impacts as they ripple through groups and communities. Workshop participants will leave with a basic understanding of the method and its foundations, when to use this method (and when not to use it), steps in ripple mapping processes, ways of representing ripple mapping data, and published examples of scholarship using ripple mapping. Examples come from community development, state-wide training program, health promotion, and youth development.

Are you familiar with your disciplinary journals, but interested in branching out into interdisciplinary community engagement journals? Then this interactive workshop is for you. Together, we will learn how to break an outreach or engagement project into multiple journal articles and discover which peer-reviewed community engagement journals are the right fit for your scholarship. Participants will come away with resources and strategies for publishing their community-engaged scholarship.

PhotoVoice participants explore important community questions through imagery and their stories about the photos. Through cycles of photography, writing, reflection, and storytelling, participants articulate their own views, identify common themes, hold critical dialogues, and foster change in their communities. Workshop participants will come away with an understanding of PhotoVoice’s theoretical underpinnings, when to use this method (and when not to use it), steps in the PhotoVoice process, ethical and logistical considerations, and ideas for displaying and publishing PhotoVoice studies. Examples come from youth development, K-12 education, and community psychology.
