FROM OUR PARTNERS

Virtual 2021 Engaged Scholarship Symposium at UMass Dartmouth 
February 26, 2021 from 12-2pm Eastern
Historically, higher education has been criticized for hiding in the Ivory Tower – isolating ourselves from our communities and producing irrelevant research. The Engaged Scholarship Symposium is designed to celebrate the usefulness of scholarship in shaping policy and enriching our communities. Participants will be exposed to strategies for involving students in active teaching and research and examples of engaged scholarship across many disciplines. Dr. Erin Bromage, the keynote, will discuss his research involving students in reducing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This event is free, but registration is required. Learn more and register at es-symposium-2021.eventbrite.com.

Scholarship & Social Justice Undergraduate Research Conference
April 8 – April 9, 2021
Since 2015, over 100 undergraduates from across the nation have gathered to present research that amplifies historically muted voices to address issues of equity and justice. The conference has become an opportunity for both faculty and undergraduates interested in community-engaged scholarship in the academy to come together as a community of established and emerging scholars.
You can learn more and register at https://publicservice.fas.harvard.edu/ssj.
