Connected Knowing

Baltimore, MD

September 23-25, 2012

The theme for the 12th annual conference is the generative power of connections and relationships inresearch on service-learning and community engagement. A distinguishing characteristic of both thedesign of engaged research and the pedagogy of service-learning is its intended reciprocity andmutuality. As educators we develop partnerships with community partners and citizens, undergraduateand graduate students, teachers and K-12 students, and other faculty to participate in engaged researchand teaching, and to study it. Such learning partnerships are at the center of how we connect research topolicy and practice. These learning partnerships are also how we connect different theoretical andgrounded perspectives to the research designs we choose, as they encourage interdisciplinary andcollaborative approaches to knowing and doing. Finally, these learning partnerships are how we engagein peer-to-peer mentoring and both mentor and learn from the next generation of engaged scholars, aparticular strength of the IARSLCE. The 12th Annual IARSLCE Conference in Baltimore seeks to breaknew ground by focusing our attention on transformative learning partnerships in our research andscholarship on community engagement, in our research with community partners, and in the kinds ofconnections those learning partnerships leverage and facilitate. We are particularly interested in how ourresearch provides evidence for how to improve these relationships.

The IARSLCE annual research conference is targeted to scholars, practitioners, students, and communitypartners interested in research on service-learning, community-based research, campus-communitypartnerships, and civic learning outcomes in P-20 education. Attendees include faculty, administrators,and scholar-practitioners in higher education, community partners, educators in K-12, and professionalsand leaders in educational policy and community development. To advance understanding of scholarshipfrom international perspectives, scholars from outside of the United States are particularly encouraged tosubmit proposals.

Hosted by the University of Maryland and co-sponsored by American University, George WashingtonUniversity, Johns Hopkins University, Loyola University Maryland, Maryland Campus Compact, McDanielCollege, Montgomery College, and University of Maryland Baltimore County.
