2022 Spanning Boundaries Challenge | Community Stories of Sustainability and Resilience: Promise for the Learning Experience

Communities’ lived experiences are unique and varied, informed by diverse historical contexts and community values.  Working alongside community partners is necessary to develop equitable, sustainable, and responsible solutions to current challenges. 

This project explores embedding Civic Engagement and Service Learning (CE&SL, 2021) into existing courses by engaging students, faculty and Borderland communities in community-driven research around sustainable food and water solutions.  Working across Fine Arts, Engineering, Architecture, Honors, Biosphere 2 and Global Initiatives, the project pilots and evaluates this innovative approach to place-responsive CE&SL, while providing new opportunities for students and faculty to have a measurable societal impact.  The project aims to lay foundations for strong bi-national relationships and improved student capacity for community-driven action, as part of the UArizona CE&SL teaching and learning experience.
