This workshop will provide academics with a framework for understanding community engagement in context. Drawing on past and present examples of the University’s relationship with the South Side of Chicago, the workshop will help attendees build a shared vocabulary, discuss engagement practices, and identify shared priorities to advance community-engaged research that is more bi-directional and mutually beneficial. Opportunities to further connect with the Office of Civic Engagement following the workshop will be presented as well. This session will be led by Susana Vasquez, Associate Vice President for Special Projects, and Nika Levando, Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives in the Office of Civic Engagement.
