When #CommunityEngagedLearning (#CEL) and #Diversity meet:

If the rationale for CEL is “exposure of students to other groups”, the assumption is students are a "different" group. This is an injustice to students who come from a background similar to societal partners involved. Instructors must examine how CEL touches student diversity, how this affects students, and take action to
make CEL inclusive for all students.

How can veterinary students learn to approach stakeholders, patient owners, lay public and other non-vets in ways that acknowledge expertise of all? How can this be approached so that doesn’t discount the science-based knowledge a vet brings to the table?

*Sometimes it is about sitting *next to* eachother. In my blog, thoughts on veterinary professionalization and reciprocity.

What will change for academic institutions as the climate crisis is increasingly not some far-off future, but happening now? And are we preparing our students for these uncomfortable conversations?

Many thanks to @jonippolito for recommending this book by @bryanalexandee ; has given me much food for thought. More ruminations found here: https://rebeccanordquist.edublogs.org/2024/04/29/universities-on-fire/

What do we mean by Community Engaged Learning (CEL) at Utrecht University? How do we define CEL? Yesterday the CEL team held a retreat in our always-stunning buildings in the centre of Utrecht- photo is of the stained glass ceiling in the library. Highly inspirational once again to hear examples of CEL from across the UU, and discuss viewpoints for practical implementation.
