PUBLIC ANTHROPOLOGY ROUNDTABLE
April 18th, 2008 at 2:30pm
In Tufts University's Humanities Center
"Questioning the Public Paradigm: Views on Civic Engagement from Four Public Disciplines"
Who benefits, and how, when a university class partners with a community group or when a college student interns in a local social service organization? Universities like Tufts are increasingly active players in the worlds of aid and development, civic planning, and urban design, and students and professors are more and more involved in projects in these spheres. But questions are emerging at Tufts and elsewhere about the complex social dynamics and real “sustainability” of these efforts.
Join us for a roundtable discussion about how public and applied anthropologists, public archeologists, public historians, and public sociologists are working within the "civic engagement" paradigm, and how we can bring our critical views and long public experience to bear on its pedagogies and projects.
