urbanCORE and NCCE Welcome Margaret Malone, Executive Editor of Gateways: International Journal of Community Engagement and Research, as Special Guest
We are fortunate to welcome Dr. Margaret Malone of the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia, during her visit to the United States. Dr. Malone is an experienced academic editor, writer and researcher, with extensive experience mentoring authors from around the world. Her long-term involvement in academic journal publishing underpins her critical focus on participation, knowledge democracy and change-oriented innovation in scholarly writing and publication. Over the course of her two-day visit, Professor Malone will be facilitating three events.
Panel discussion: “Community-university engagement: Recognizing the contributions of professional practitioners,” with Emily M. Janke, Margaret Malone, Dennis McCunney, and Byron P. White.
Around the world, community-university engagement has grown exponentially over the past few decades. Central to its increased institutional legitimacy and credibility are the myriad expert contributions of professional scholar-administrators. Yet this vital work often goes unrecognized within the engaged literature and other venues. This panel will take up questions regarding these under-recognized contributions.
- Tuesday, October 15, 10:00 – 11:30 AM, Location TBD (Register)
Community-engaged Writers Workshop
Bring your manuscript to this interactive workshop open to community-engaged researchers at any stage of a project. This workshop will focus on the research article as a resource that can be approached imaginatively and purposively, rather than a set of rules to be adhered to.
- Tuesday, October 15, 12:30 – 2:00 PM, Sycamore 306 (Register)
Hybrid Webinar: “Communicating engagement: How community-university partnerships are re-imagining the research article.”
Dr. Malone will share her research, which reveals the ways in which community-university teams are modifying and resisting the dominant genre conventions of the research article to better articulate their collaborative and change-oriented goals.
- Wednesday, October 16, 12:15 – 1:15 PM, Sycamore 306 (Register)
