Pedagogies of Engagement: New Designs for Learning In and Across the Disciplines
An AAC&U Network for Academic Renewal Conference
April 15-17, 2004, Chicago, Illinois

About the Call for Proposals

This call invites proposals about successful teaching approaches that nurture a deep understanding about content specific knowledge while addressing its application in real-world settings. We welcome proposals about approaches within and across the disciplines and involving student affairs, including those that prepare students for effective civic participation in our culturally diverse and globally interconnected society. Some of the approaches featured might include civic engagement, community-based research, experiential learning, intercultural dialogues, service learning, mentoring, undergraduate research, inquiry-based learning, and guided internships. This conference seeks to present a full array of pedagogies of engagement that represent work done in individual courses, departments and majors, and across the campus, community, and globe. We especially seek proposals about engaged teaching methods with proven or emerging evidence of success.

Proposals are due September 10.
