Several GW faculty have attended this Institute and found it valuable.
The Spring '24 Institute on Teaching Social Action will be held at Rhodes College in Memphis on March 9-10, 2024. They will also have two virtual Institutes scheduled, as well as a Fall '24 Institute at the University of Michigan. Applications are due on Friday, February 23. Apply for the Spring '24 Institute.
These cost-free Institutes are designed to give faculty and staff the knowledge and
tools to incorporate student-led social action campaigns into a current or new course (or co-curricular activity). Social action is a transformative experiential learning model where students in a college course launch their own campaign or join a community organization's campaign. Examples here. Student campaigns seek to change a policy (i.e., a rule, law, regulation, norm, or practice of an institution) on campus or in the community.
If you can't make the Spring '24 Institute, please consider applying to the two virtual Institutes (Summer and Winter), or the Fall '24 Institute at the U. of Michigan, which is hosted by Professor Arun Agrawal with the Pathways Alliance at the School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS).
