Registration is now open for the CESI Summer Intensive in Critical Community Engaged Scholarship! This week-long training and knowledge exchange is an excellent opportunity for researchers aiming to expand their knowledge and skills in critical community engaged scholarship (CCES) and integrated knowledge mobilization (KMb).
The Guelph Lab and the John F Wood Centre for Business and Student Entrepreneurship are inviting proposals from experienced social entrepreneurs with a passion for mentoring and coaching. The successful vendor will lead development of the Sandbox, as well as deliver the program in Fall 2021.
The Community Engaged Scholarship Institute team is extremely pleased to announce the launch of our Community Engaged Teaching and Learning (CETL) Database. This online repository was developed in response to an identified need for information and tangible resources related to CETL - it contains detailed records of select courses with CETL components at the University of Guelph, as well as a range of actual resources used in those courses.
The University of Guelph is looking to hire instructors with a passion for teaching and the academic knowledge and experience to facilitate the online continuing education Certificate in Knowledge Mobilization. The selected candidate(s) will join our existing team of instructors to facilitate one or many of the courses of the Certificate over 2021-2022 (with possibility of extension).
Canadian postsecondary institutions are under growing pressure to adapt and innovate approaches to teaching and learning. Many instructors are integrating community engaged teaching and learning (CETL) across a range of course levels and types. CETL courses ensure attention to critical learning outcomes for students as well as meaningful community collaboration and action (Morton, Varghese, & Thomson, unpublished manuscript).
Congratulations to Dr. Melissa Tanti, CESI Community Engaged Learning (CETL) Coordinator, who has been awarded a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship to write a new book, Transnational Experiments.
