Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán engages with how best to look upon and respond to change arguing that this debate is an important arena for negotiating local belonging and a force of transformation in its own right. For residents of Chunchucmil a historic rural community in Yucatán Mexico history is anything but straightforward. Living in what is both a defunct 19th-century hacienda estate and a vibrant Catholic pilgrimage site Chunchucmileños reckon past present and future in radically different ways. For example while some use the aging estate buildings to weave a history of economic decline and push for revitalization by hotel developers others highlight the growing fame of the Virgin of the Rosary in the attached church and vow to defend the site from developer interference. By exploring how past and future are channeled through changing built environments landscapes sacred relics and legal documents this ethnographic study details how the politics of change provide Chunchucmileños with a common language for debating commitments to place and each another in the present. Against Western notions of ‘History’ as a relatively coherent account of change the book suggests we reframe it as an ongoing performance that is always fractured democratic and morally tinged. | Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

Reconceptualizing Faculty Development in Service-Learning/Community Engagement Exploring Intersections Frameworks and Models of Practice

Reconceptualizing Faculty Development in Service-Learning/Community Engagement Exploring Intersections Frameworks and Models of Practice

The role of educational developer in the realm of service-learning and community engagement (S-LCE) is multidimensional. Given the potentially transformational nature-for both faculty and students-of the experiences and courses in whose design they may be directly or indirectly involved as well as their responsibility to the communities served by these initiatives they have to be particularly attentive to issues of identity values and roles. As both practitioners and facilitators they are often positioned as third-space professionals. This edited volume provides educational developers and community engagement professionals an analysis of approaches to faculty development around service-learning and community engagement. Using an openly self-reflective approach the contributors to this volume offer an array of examples and models as well as realistic strategies to empower readers to evolve their faculty development efforts in service-learning and community engagement on their respective campuses. It is also a call for recognition that the practice of S-LCE needs to be institutionalized and improved. The book further addresses the field’s potential contributions to scholarship such as the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) publicly engaged scholarship and collaborative inquiry among others. The case studies provide an outline of program models and promising practices including an authentic analysis of the institutional context within which they operate the positionality of the practitioner-scholars overseeing them the resources required and the evidence related to both successes and challenges of these approaches. The contributed chapters are organized under four themes: the landscape of faculty development and community engagement; models of faculty development in S-LCE; challenges and opportunities in pedagogy and partnerships; and engendering change in educational development. | Reconceptualizing Faculty Development in Service-Learning/Community Engagement Exploring Intersections Frameworks and Models of Practice
