Community Engagement & Social Responsibility Seminar Application
HLTH/ICPR 233           Instructor: Kaye Edwards; Adviser:  Janice Lion

This seminar links community engagement opportunities made available through offices and programs in the Bi-Co to theories of in/justice, direct service, and social transformation. Through readings, documentaries, and discussions, students will explore how structural violence, interpersonal power dynamics, and personal agency influence individual behaviors and outcomes; how solidarity models of community service differ from charity models; how privilege and cultural biases shape how we see other communities. Using her/his own community work as a case study, each student will research the history, mission, and practices of the organizations as well as specific issues faced by the community; post three short response to the readings on Moodle; record and reflect in a journal on specific events, interactions or outcomes within the placement; compile a final portfolio documenting work in the community and examining its benefits and limitations for the student, the organization, and the community.  

PLEASE BE SURE TO PRE-REGISTER FOR THE CLASS.
Seminars will take place Fridays, 10:30 am-noon; students must also VOLUNTEER THREE HOURS PER WEEK IN AN APPROVED COMMUNITY PLACEMENT.  For assistance in identifying placement opportunities, please consult the Civic Engagement website at Haverford <https://www.haverford.edu/civic-engagement> and the LILAC website at Bryn Mawr <https://www.brynmawr.edu/lilac>.
