Ethical Public Scholarship: Centering Equity, Voice, and Accountability

This interactive session opens up tough but necessary conversations: Who benefits from your work? Who gets to tell the story? How do you maintain trust and transparency over time? Participants will reflect on past and future projects with these questions in mind.

Anyone publishing or representing community work.

Format: Zoom.

Telling Your Story and Speaking It Well

This session will help you name what inspires your work, explain why it matters, and speak about it in ways that connect with different audiences. Practice framing your message and getting feedback in a supportive space.

Anyone preparing to present or share their work.

Format: In-person.

Digital Tools for Community-Engaged Research

This session introduces digital strategies that help capture and elevate community voices—whether you're making a video, building a digital archive, or using AI to synthesize feedback. No tech experience required—just curiosity.

Pitching to Funders: Making the Case for Public Impact

Making It Count: Understanding What Matters Across Different Spaces

In this closing session, we’ll explore what counts as success and who decides. Faculty will reflect on public work in relation to tenure and promotion. CBOs will explore ways to share their impact more visibly. Together, we’ll build language for mutual recognition.

Faculty, staff, and community partners.

Format: In-person (closing session).
