Engagement Intersections is a new series hosted by the Office of Engagement and Community Affairs (ECA) that focuses on highlighting and amplifying engaged scholarship as well as the teams that allow the University of Pittsburgh to be a visible partner to the region. Engaged scholarship seeks to discover new knowledge through activities that collaboratively generate, exchange, or apply academic and community knowledge and practices.
Each session is designed for the presenters to highlight their community-engaged research and partnerships, share their process for design and implementation, and engage colleagues across disciplines in active conversation on the opportunities and improvements that might make those partnerships even more impactful.
Sessions take place every other month on the Pittsburgh campus. Learn more about Engagement Intersections.
