Webinar: The AI Tightrope: Recognizing and Resisting the Roles of AI in Community Engagement – Sep 23
Posted by Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities on August 18, 2026
AI is reshaping the conditions under which community-engaged teaching and partnership work happens. The tools promise efficiency while threatening the relational, place-based integrity that defines this field. In this dialogue, Lance Eaton and Becca Berkey (Northeastern University) walk the tightrope between leveraging AI’s affordances and resisting its encroachment on experiential learning’s core commitments.
Anchored by stakeholder-specific tensions, the conversation maps distinct opportunities and risks for students, community partners, and faculty. The goal will be to surface where AI might extend capacity and where it threatens to hollow out reciprocity, trust, and presence. Attendees will engage in dialogue and at least one activity to articulate how these tensions show up in their own contexts.
Date and Time: Wednesday, September 23, 1:00 PM
Open to CUMU (Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan) members.
