CYES 110 - Social Justice and Community Engagement

An interdisciplinary team-taught course, this “Clark Commons” First-Year Intensive Seminar is rooted in the idea that community-engaged scholarship is a powerful mechanism for promoting transformative change and social justice in our community and world. Clark has a long history of community-engaged activist scholarship. This seminar will introduce first year students to key principles and practices of activist scholarship - what this work looks like and how it’s done. Students will be introduced to an interdisciplinary group of engaged scholars/faculty on campus, exploring their passions, positionality and identities, and their work. Lastly, students will begin their own journey in activist work at Clark -learning about on-going work, and designing a project proposal for their own transformational work, in the spirit of Clark’s motto: “Challenge convention; Change our world.”
