This year’s theme is Public and Community Engaged Scholarship in Latin America, the Caribbean, and its Diaspora.
There is growing interest in public and community engaged scholarship within universities, including our own, to promote the co-production of knowledge and more equitable and relevant collaborations that address the priorities of partnering actors and communities. In this inter-school and interdisciplinary conference, we are creating a space to analyze academic practices and the ethical and political impacts of our engaged research. Moreover, in Latin America, academic work may have different nuances, reflections, understandings, and commitments regarding what engaged scholarship is and how it might be practiced. For this PLAC Conference, we are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of how community engaged scholarship is perceived and practiced within the particular histories and situated contexts of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Please join us on October 10 and 11, 2024 to to address these complex issues in academic work and examine the possibilities, limits, and challenges of engaged scholarship. The conference seeks to motivate participants to think about questions, such as: What are effective strategies to engage with diverse publics? What ethical lessons can be shared, and which others are context-specific? What range of methodologies emerge in different kinds of collaborative relationships and engaged research projects?
