This cross-listed workshop may be of interest to people in the Campus Community theme. It is offered on Monday afternoon, before the three-day Campus Community theme begins. Please see description under "Pushing the Boundaries of Classroom Practice" theme.
Day 1: Passion, Purpose and Practical Skills
The day is devoted to learning more about the Center for Social Justice resources for faculty in their courses. In the morning, Bob Bies (Professor, MSB) will discuss various ways that the community can infuse the classroom to help student learn about what “leadership” can mean. There will be conversations about the pedagogy of community-based learning, as it is now established at Georgetown, and the various approaches to the concept “social justice” as they think about their courses.

Day 2: Gritty Reality
In the morning, Dale Murphy (Director of Entrepreneurial Programs here at Georgetown) will provide an introduction to ‘social entrepreneurship’ and how that might be incorporated into courses. The TLISI lunch will feature Bill Drayton, Founder and CEO of Ashoka. In the afternoon, participants will take a community tour of D.C. to learn more about the benefits and burdens different neighborhoods experience.
Day 3: Community Collaborators; Advocacy
The day has two parts: the morning will consist of conversations with Professor Bies and his community partners about the collaborations they have undertaken. The afternoon will be structured by Kathy Kretman (Director of the Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership) and partners discussing the role of advocacy in social change to provide faculty with practical ways to infuse advocacy into their curricula, with a particular focus on the role of advocacy in DC public education reform.
