CES/WGSS Roundtable
: Knowledge, Power & the Ethics of Engaged Scholarship
January 26, 2022 | 1-2:30pm | Zoom Webinar
As universities are foregrounding and supporting engaged scholarship more than ever, it is crucial to take up urgent questions about how to ethically go about such endeavors and related questions about knowledge production and its dissemination. Ethical engagements include practices that are multidirectional, going beyond simply extending the university into communities, or extractive models of outreach, engagement, and collaboration. Scholar-activists in fields such as Feminist Studies and Ethnic Studies have long wrestled with the politics of knowledge production, asymmetrical power relations, and the ethics of engaged scholarship. This roundtable will feature interdisciplinary perspectives and firsthand accounts about the ethics of engagement and the politics of knowledge production.
This free and open to the public event is co-sponsored by CES and WGSS.
