Engaged learning

  • Sam Beck Cornell University, United States

Abstract

Engaged learning commits itself to community development and an active pedagogy as the state continues to withdraw funding from communities. Community engagement is a teaching, research and change mechanism for students who use ethnographic methods and experiential learning to practice citizenship and rehearse their roles in professional settings. Engaged learning provides the opportunity to explore “alternative moral frames for academic work”, for pedagogical innovation and for resistance against neoliberalism.
