During Beer, Bonding, and Building Community, participants will build community among CDS members over a couple of pints at three local Detroit breweries. Participants will hear first-hand from local brewers about the start of their brewery and their impact on their local neighborhood.
This gathering will give faculty who use service learning assignments and activities to meet core curricular requirements an opportunity to meet up. Participants should be ready to share examples of assignments and explanations of how they apply theory to practice. Let's co-create a peer-to-peer network for ongoing curricular design!
Communities in Appalachia are often divided by seemingly arbitrary administrative regional borders drawn by federal entities. The Central Appalachian Regional Brownfields Innovation Network (CABIN) seeks to cross those borders, bringing communities of similar size, assets, and challenges together to facilitate more effective redevelopment in small, rural communities. Connect with others from our region to discuss how we might collaborate and learn from one another more effectively.
In advance, explore and bring ideas of a potential manuscript to the table that focuses on using Alternative Methodologies to study community development.
