In addition, the workshop will address job talks, chalk talks and teaching talks – important elements of many academic job interviews.

NCFDD: Engagement Matters – Developing a Career as a Community Engaged Scholar
2020-11-24 14:00 - 15:00 | Webinar
Drawing on studies of exemplar, highly impactful engaged scholars, Dr. KerryAnne O’Meara shares examples of high impact community engaged scholarship and strategies adopted by engaged scholars to succeed in reward systems that are not yet fully inclusive of this work. We consider ways in which projects with community partners might be designed to document expertise or knowledge drawn on, impact, and significance.
