CELebrate Learning: A podcast about community-engaged learning and teaching
The Community-Engaged Learning Office has something new in the works.
To diversify our storytelling and provide new ways for students, faculty, and community partners to learn about community-engaged learning (CEL) praxis, UVic’s CEL Office brings you the CELebrate Learning Podcast!
This podcast highlights diverse perspectives and experiences of CEL, aiming to provide useful insight, tools and inspiration to students, faculty and community members alike. Our episodes will cover a range of topics, such as intersectionality, reflection, the spectrum of engagement, and stories of the power of learning in community to help deepen understandings of CEL possibilities.
Tune into our student-led first episode and keep an eye out for the release of our instructor-centered series, coming this fall.
Student-created and led series
“Being Truly Myself”: Queer and Trans+ Perspectives on CEL
For the first episode of CELebrate Learning, host Garry-Grace Ribeiro (they/them) speaks with three self-identifying queer and trans+ UVic students on topics such as students' roles as educators in community, the connection between community and self, place and belonging, and how our engagement with community leads to social change.
"Rooted in Community": Emerging Engineers for Climate Action
In this episode, co-hosts Matilde Cervantes (PhD candidate and project manager contractor at the CEL Office) and April Vannini (CEL Coordinator) invite you to learn from Engineering MA student, Shukooh Goodarzi and Engineering PhD candidate Kelsey Shaw, who are conducting community-engaged research.
Instructor series: The spectrum of engagement
Coming soon
A five-part episode with faculty from across UVic who incorporate community-engaged learning into their teaching along the spectrum of engagement.
These seasoned CEL instructors will share their experiences and provide guidance for any instructor who is new to or curious about CEL and what it can offer to their students.
About the podcast
The motivation for this podcast came from the CEL’s office’s desire to answer instructor’s and students' questions about community-engaged learning and teaching, creating an accessible resource while highlighting the expertise in CEL that already exists here at the University of Victoria. We are excited to share with you all.
CELebrate Learning is recorded at the University of Victoria. We acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən people on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
