Measuring Mutual Benefit and Reciprocity in Community Engagement and Public Service Activities
Date & Time

Speakers
Description
Mutual benefit and reciprocity are arguably the defining characteristics/principles of the Carnegie Foundation's definition for community engagement partnerships. In this session, we examine how these two characteristics/principles are often conflated as synonyms by researchers, administrators, and practitioners (Dostilio, et al, 2012; Janke, 2018), and offer definitions and measures that demonstrate their distinctiveness. We will present exploratory analysis of 800+ projects/activities using a new data collection system across multiple institutions.
Learning outcomes:
- Increased awareness of how we measure mutuality and reciprocity and how these are operationalized through engagement and service.
- Reflection on what happens when we truly understand the role(s) that partners play in advancing common goals
- Consideration of how we foster change in our communities and institutions as a result
