This past fall, a pilot course introduced students to regional activists and organizers. While making these connections, the course - Global Solidarity and Local Actions - also examined the theory and practice of public and participatory scholarship and ethical campus-community partnerships. Following positive student feedback, the course is poised to be offered again in the spring. Reserve your spot now by indicating your interest at the link. Students will be offered seats based on priority toward earlier expressions of interest, with a bias toward first and second year students (though juniors and seniors may also enroll).
