Participants will learn the characteristics of various critical models for community-engaged learning, including decolonizing, critical, and liberatory service-learning, and activist and social justice pedagogies. We will explore diverse historical origins of community-engaged learning within and outside of the academy, and draw on critical frameworks to reframe community-engaged courses to directly address issues of equity and justice.
 
Outcomes/Takeaways:

• Understand how scholars have integrated critical frameworks, perspectives, and principles into their community-engaged teaching and learning
• Identify and interrogate limitations, contradictions, and tensions inherent in your course and context
• Consider how identity, positionality, power, privilege, and oppression shape your course and experience
