Thursday, 19 July 2018: 08:30-10:20
Location: 803A (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC46 Clinical Sociology (host committee)

Language: English

Clinical sociology emphasizes the use of research to bring about positive social change in civic society at all levels of experience. To bring about civic engagement directed at change many pedagogical strategies are incorporated. Presentations for this session could report on the activities of academics who encourage their students to engage in social change through service learning, community-based research, action research, mentored internships, reflective experiential learning, and international collaborations. The theme that pulls these strategies together is classroom-based civic engagement that can encourage citizen participation, address social injustice, and/or increase the knowledge and practical skills of the students.
