The University of California, Berkeley and California Campus Compact will host a one-day colloquium to examine the meaning of community in engaged scholarship.  Specific attention will be given to community-based participatory research models, connecting alternate spaces within and outside of university connect to intellectual focus on university, and examples of best practices that promote the bridging of university civic engagement and outreach practices with research.  Colloquium speakers, panelists and participants will discuss interdisciplinary work, tenure and promotion, faculty as community members, measuring our impact, engaging undergraduates, and how CBPR strengthens scholarship.

This colloquium is co-sponsored by UC Berkeley's Engaged Scholarship Initiative (BESI), The American Cultures Center, Cal Corps Public Service Center, Division of Student Affairs, and Office of the Vice-Provost for Teaching and Learning, with generous support from California Campus Compact and The Corporation for National & Community Service, Learn and Serve America.
