Recording: Nurturing and Norming Inclusive Assessment Practices: A Democratically-Engaged Approach

In this session, we explore these questions together while also lifting up stories of counter-normative, transformative, and radically inclusive assessment work. This webinar highlights some stories of assessment done differently, engaged in values, and with the purpose of inclusion and transformation in mind. We explore together the concept of democratically-engaged assessment, which is an orientation to and framework for assessment that is explicitly grounded in, informed by, and in dialogue with the (contested) values and commitments of democratic civic engagement. Note that the team presenting represented the work of a larger team and the voice and input of community organizers, scholar-practitioners, thinkers, and citizens who have shared with us their first-hand experiences of what it means to reclaim one’s narrative and voice through democratically-engaged assessment practices.

Community-based global learning in engineering education: Engagement, ethics, and social responsibility

Last summer, in response to the changing landscape on university campuses due to COVID-19, the Case Western Reserve University’s Center for Engineering Action reached out to our colleagues who likewise partner with communities on student design projects aimed at serving vulnerable populations. Since personal connection and travel is important to much of our work, the current pandemic has made our mission even more challenging. And COVID-19 was just the beginning of the many issues that would come into sharper focus in 2020! Last August as we gathered over Zoom with several colleagues, we sought to learn how other organizations are responding and to discuss best ways to ethically and effectively do this work in light of the multitude of challenges.

Calling In, Community, Relationships and Results

I hope you’re doing OK. To say it’s been a hard year is only to demonstrate the insufficiency of language. Through so much pain, many days the most we can wish for is that the darkness around us is not of the tomb but of the womb. That orientation toward regeneration reminds us of Arundhati Roy's hope for the pandemic as a portal; a critical rupture that, “we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.” Yet everyday, declarations of great change couple with re-solidification of old inequities. How does social change actually happen? What is your role? We’ll be taking up those kinds of questions this week at the Haverford College Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, as we work with students selected for summer internships on just a few of the dozens of learning modules in the Global Solidarity, Local Actions Toolkit.

Recording: Ethics, Equity, and Online Global Learning: Fair Trade Learning, Virtually

On March 22, 2021, the Community-based Global Learning Collaborative hosted Ethics, Equity, and Online Global Learning: Fair Trade Learning, Virtually. When global education became virtual global education, program decisions impacted communities around the world. Particularly among organizations that have built their program models from community-driven and community-based principles, the move to virtual presented significant questions regarding whether to move forward, and how. Presenters from Amizade, Child Family Health International, and Omprakash shared how they have grappled through these decisions, what they have learned, and how their virtual models align with the ethical practices of Fair Trade Learning. Hear from:
