Description

This interactive session will share findings from a research study that aimed to reimagine equitable community-campus relationships with those who have often been left out of research—community members, notably residents. Through an examination of community engagement (CE) between one college and its surrounding host neighborhoods, this session will critically consider the phenomenon of “neighborliness” from the experiences of community members. Session participants will engage the question: “What are neighborly principles and practices for higher education CE?”. Specifically, the session will ask participants to engage the concept of neighborliness across a continuum—from pedagogical approaches and practices of neighborliness to where and how to locate neighborliness institutionally and across various institutional contexts. The presenters would like to acknowledge Miranda Macaluso, Providence College Class of 2026, as a non-presenting author.
