Interested in going deeper this summer?

The Georgetown University Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching & Service (CSJ) announces UNXP 030-130 CBL: Intersections of Social Justice, a trans-disciplinary, community-based learning (CBL) course offered online June 5-July 28, 2017. The course is designed to deepen the community-based internship or service to which you have already committed this summer.

Earn 1, 2, or 3 credits learning core theories of social justice and applying skills for social change to your field experience, while interacting with a close-knit learning community through our globally connected online learning platform.

WHO? - YOU
To participate, you...
1.   must already be committed to a community-based and/or social justice project for most of the summer (at least 6 weeks, ~10-30 hours/week), anywhere in the world, including Washington, DC;
2.   must have regular access to a stable high-speed internet connection;
3.   must be flexible, excited to learn, eager to reflect on your experiences, and hopeful for how to do social justice /community-engaged work better; and
4.   will be learning from your peers - undergraduates like you, doing community-based work around the world.

WHO? - US
Intersections is taught online by Dr. Andria Wisler, Dr. Michael Loadenthal, Dr. Jennifer Rosales, Dr. Jennifer Grubbs, Amanda Munroe, M.A., and Kyra Hanlon (SFS’16) of the CSJ through Georgetown’s learning platform CANVAS. Read our bios here.

HOW?
Fill out this short Intersections Interest Form. We will get in touch with you within 2 weeks.

WHY?
Intersections puts the “learning” in “experiential learning.” Approaching your community-based work experience as a text for learning, Intersections offers opportunities to do sustained reflection with students doing  social justice all over the world. Classwork integrates field-based learning with trans-disciplinary concepts central to social justice and immediately applicable to your work. Intersections is one of the best ways to internalize learning. We promise an unforgettable experience!
