Organizing Culture Change: Public Scholarship Dialogue and Reflection Tools

An Imagining America Teaching and Learning Circle Webinar

Tuesday April 30, 2024 

1:00-2:30pm PT / 3:00 – 4:30pm CT / 4:00-5:30pm ET 

This Imagining America Teaching and Learning Circle webinar is open to all and will engage IA’s newest tools: the Public Scholar Conversation Cards and the Public Scholar Imagination Guide. 

The card deck encourages public scholars to consider why their work matters and how it challenges academic culture and produces critical knowledge to tackle pressing public issues. The guide provides a variety of reflection and action activities for anyone trying to improve their own practice and for those interested in making the university a more hospitable, caring, and creative place to nurture public, engaged, and activist scholarship, artmaking, and design.

Facilitated by IA Faculty Director Erica Kohl-Arenas and IA National Advisory Board members, this TLC will provide an opportunity for anyone interested in the work of IA to learn about these pedagogical and organizing tools as well as the IA action research project that inspired their creation.
