The Collaborative for Community Engagement Journal Club is designed to foster a common set of understandings and a common language related to the CCE’s mission. It offers staff members an opportunity to integrate rigorous academic scholarship into their public work. CCE staff members will meet weekly to discuss one short reading (less than 15-20 pages). Loosely construed, week 1 of the block will introduce a concept, week 2 will provide a more advanced perspective, week 3 will explore implications for the particular work of each staff member, and week 4 will address some aspect of self-care.
