Call for Workshop Proposals - PACE Conference

[Announcement from he-sl]

NC Campus Compact’s Pathways to Achieving Civic Engagement (PACE) Conference

February 14, 2018, Elon University, Elon, NC

Call for Proposals
Deadline: November 10^th

The annual PACE conference, now in its 20^th year, is for community engagement faculty, staff, researchers, community partners, and graduate students who want to gain skills, knowledge and best practice models for a spectrum of community and civic engagement pedagogies and activities.  We are seeking workshop proposals in the following tracks: Capacity-building, Pedagogy, and Research and theory. These are one hour workshops.

This year we are adding mini-sessions. These 15 minute presentations (not quite PechaKucha – 6 minutes - but not a Ted Talk – 18 minutes) combine depth with brevity to allow for stimulating idea generation and conversations. Curricular models will receive preference, but co-curricular models are also encouraged.  Three mini-talks will occur within the 1 hour session, with 5 minutes between each presentation for questions. The talks must fall within the topics below.

1. Food Insecurity
2. Promoting Civility
3. Creating and Sustaining an Engaged Campus
4. Promoting Equity and Inclusion
5. Partnerships to Improve K-12 Education
6. Addressing Health Disparities
7. Empowering Students as Colleagues
8. Service Learning and STEM

You may submit a proposal(s) in both categories, but each presentation requires a separate proposal.

Keynote speaker, Dr. Nick Longo, one of the co-authors of the 2016 publication Publicly Engaged Scholars: Next Generation Engagement and the Future of Higher Education " will discuss "Next Generation Engagement: Building on History, Charting New Pathways." He will also facilitate a conversation on "Pinning a Butterfly?  A Dialogue on the Role of Students in Creating Engaged Campuses" a reflection on the state of ideas proposed in the 2006 book he co-authored Students as Colleagues: Expanding the Circle of Service-Learning Leadership.
