Join us Tuesday, Dec. 15, from 6-7:30 p.m., when Dr. David J. Childs, associate professor of Social Studies Education and History at Northern Kentucky University, will place the recent deaths and violence against Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Jacob Blake by the hands of law enforcement within a historical context. Household names such as Trayvon Martin, Ahmaud Arbery, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Hannah Williams, Atatiana Jefferson, Aura Rosser, Botham Jean and Eric Garner are a part of state and community sanctioned violence against African Americans that goes back nearly 400 years. Childs’ Six@Six presentation will help people understand how the recent deaths fit the definition of lynching—a phenomenon that has long been an unfortunate part of U.S. history. Resources for teachers will be discussed in order to guide meaningful conversations in middle grade, high school and college classrooms around the subject of racial violence. RSVP to receive Zoom link.

Register Description Community-engaged experiences provide the opportunity for faculty to collaborate authentically and reciprocally with partners who often represent historically disenfranchised communities where policy, resource allocation, and deficit-based communication strategies had an impact on growth, perception and development.

As Community Engagement professionals, during our support of faculty service-learning instruction and implementation, we started to see and hear...

Register Description It is no secret that market forces play an important role in shaping almost everything in the world, and the higher education civic engagement movement (CEM) is no exception. Market forces have created pressures within higher education that have created the “entrepreneurial university” driven by neoliberalism, which imbues the business creed across the university. How did this happen? What does it mean for the CEM? How does it shape the quest for authentically building just, neighborly communities centered on equity and voices of...
