ABSTRACT: 

RUBINSTEIN, Robert A. (Syracuse U) Non-Classroom Education: Engaged Learning. There is much discussion of enriching traditional delivery of instruction through out-of-classroom student experiences that develop problem solving skills, collaborative work, social service, and much more.  In this session, one paper addresses interprofessional student collaboration in a clinical setting.  One discusses engaging students in a community effort to help people in trauma due to neighborhood violence.  One explores engaging students in political activism through an activist workshop.  One session addresses ethnical issues in community collaborative projects, and one student engagement in a program for refugees. This session illustrates the broad range of non-classroom education that is currently being offered.

 

Session took place at the Society for Applied Anthropology • 78th Annual Meeting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania April 3-7, 2018.
