Featuring Dr. Edward St. John, University of Michigan
Co-Learning & Co-writing as Action Research: Community Wellbeing, Engaged Scholarship, and Creating Futures
This session focuses on co-learning and co-writing processes as action research. These collaborative processes center the wellbeing of communities, engagement of scholars supporting new generations of social activists, and the renewal and expansion of educational and career pathways. Dr. St. John provides concrete examples of co-learning and co-writing that engages students and professors across generations in action research partnerships with community organizations, schools, and corporations that solve emerging social and environmental challenges. He draws from his research designs in K-20 research, community projects, racial and class financial equity research in the US, international policy projects, and empowering social agency among youth in rising generations.
